Boulder Imaging

We are thrilled to announce the launch of IdentiFlight V5, the latest generation for bird detection and anti-collision technology. Developed by Boulder Imaging, our V5 generation marks a major leap forward in performance and reliability, safeguarding sensitive bird species while supporting the growth of renewable energy. Key Features of IdentiFlight V5: 🔍 Enhanced Performance: Improved detection accuracy and efficiency, now with a 1.3 km range. 🌐 Ruggedized Design: Optimized for diverse landscapes, including coastal areas. ⚙️ Streamlined Serviceability: Easier maintenance and minimal downtime for wind farm operators. Our debut deployment at Musselroe Wind Farm in Tasmania, in collaboration with Woolnorth Renewables, underscores our commitment to protecting iconic species like the wedge-tailed eagle and white-bellied sea eagle. IdentiFlight V5 sets a new benchmark for wildlife protection and clean energy innovation. Discover how IdentiFlight V5 is revolutionizing species protection and maximizing power generation.

Musselroe Wind Farm – Far north east Tasmania I was lucky enough to spend a day at our Musselroe Windfarm (56 turbines, installed capacity 168 MW).  Woolnorth staff were overseeing the construction and installation of IdentiFlight towers. IdentiFlight is an aerial detection system, that blends artificial intelligence with the high-precision optical technology (8 cameras per tower) to detect eagles and other protected avian species, to protect them from collisions with rotating turbine blades. Automatic detection and species determination occur within seconds, the observations are sent to our control centre, and if a collision looks likely, it can stop a wind turbine from rotating (curtailment) within seconds. From the technical minds of engineers, I learned the basics of wind generation; for the layperson: Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity. Thanks to the hard-working team at Musselroe Windfarm for an amazing day.
