Sometimes good things come in pairs! Normandeau is excited to share that we have partnered with Wildlife Acoustics to provide state-of-the-art smart curtailment, allowing wind energy developers to maximize energy production while reducing bat fatalities.
Normandeau’s experience as the trail blazers of smart curtailment with our tried-and-true TIMRSM system, coupled with Wildlife Acoustics’ advanced bat detector technology, come together to provide a complete service to protect our furry flying friends and promote sustainable, renewable energy.
Normandeau’s bat biologists and software engineers have extensive experience in designing, installing, and operating biologically and ecologically relevant smart curtailment solutions for full scale commercial wind farms. We incorporate Wildlife Acoustics’ SMART System into our design, ensure integration into the site’s SCADA or other communications system, and maintain the system operating smoothly.
At Normandeau, we know that every project is different, so we designed TIMRSM to be flexible. We work with clients and regulatory authorities to understand each site’s unique characteristics, limitations, and requirements, and create a smart curtailment solution accordingly.
Once the system is installed, Normandeau operates and monitors it to ensure functionality and uninterrupted operation and provides full support to the site staff. At the end of each season, we analyze the results; and since TIMRSM is flexible, we can optimize its parameters according to the results.
Normandeau’s track record proves that TIMRSM reduces bat mortality while increasing energy production. With Wildlife Acoustics’ SMART System, you can rest assured that our service relies on the most advanced and trusted technology available. The result is a reliable, proven smart curtailment service.
Julia Robinson Willmott, Vice President and Ornithologist at Normandeau, expressed her enthusiasm over collaborating with Wildlife Acoustics: “This partnership with Wildlife Acoustics signals a significant shift in the advancement of bat collision mitigation using smart curtailment technology. Their SMART tech paired with TIMRSM brings two leading wildlife technologies together to tackle the challenges of producing clean, renewable energy without impacting wildlife. We’re excited to share stats and info as this partnership is implemented at various sites. Stay tuned!”
