NEI : What is nvbird ® and what does it do ?
nvisionist : The nvbird ® tracking system is the flagship product of nvisionist , a pioneering , integrated , state-of-the-art solution at the cutting edge of global technology with significant environmental benefits that adds value to Wind Energy . nvbird ® also poses as a solution to enhance the efficiency of wind farms and protect biodiversity by leveraging AI and machine learning technologies . More specifically , it has the ability to accurately detect and monitor birds flying near wind turbines and are being endangered by their blades while they are in operation . It achieves this through a system of special algorithms and sounds that are activated to initially prevent them from taking a dangerous path . If this prevention is not achieved , the turbines slow down until the birds have flown out of the danger zone , whether the wind farm is onshore ( nvbird ® onshore ) or offshore ( nvbird ® offshore ).
The expertise and innovation incorporated in nvbird ® have established it globally as one of the most important and effective solutions in the renewable energy sector , demonstrating how information technology can help accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels and the widespread adoption of green energy , while also achieving the ambitious global zero-emission and decarbonization goals . Simultaneously , nvbird ® constitutes a critical parameter for the development of wind farms worldwide , increasing their efficiency and protecting the environment and biodiversity to the maximum extent possible .
