AI-Powered Turbine Mitigation
Real-time detection, intelligent risk assessment and automated turbine response for wildlife protection and environmental compliance.
From detection to decision to turbine action — within one integrated technology ecosystem.
Shutdown on Demand (SDoD) enables wind turbines to respond dynamically when predefined environmental or operational risk conditions are detected.
IRIDA combines real-time sensing, Edge AI, configurable decision logic and wind-turbine integration to transform environmental monitoring into actionable mitigation.
Depending on the application, the system can detect birds, bat activity or agricultural operations, assess the relevant conditions and initiate the appropriate turbine response.
The objective is simple: operate normally when conditions allow and respond when mitigation is required.
A continuous automated workflow connecting environmental intelligence with turbine operation.
01
Sensors continuously monitor the relevant environment or activity.
02
Edge AI analyses detections, movement, location and applicable risk conditions.
03
Configurable rules determine whether mitigation criteria have been met.
04
The appropriate turbine response is initiated through the configured turbine or SCADA interface.
05
The system continuously monitors conditions to determine when the mitigation event can be concluded according to the configured logic.
06
Events, detections and system actions are recorded to support operational review and reporting.
The same detection-to-action architecture supports different mitigation requirements across the wind-energy environment.
Bird Protect™
Bird Protect™ detects and tracks birds around wind turbines, assesses collision-risk conditions and can initiate turbine curtailment when predefined mitigation criteria are met.
Bat Protect™
Bat Protect™ combines continuous bat monitoring with configurable mitigation logic, enabling turbine operation to respond to detected activity and defined risk conditions.
Bird Protect™ Agro
Bird Protect™ Agro detects agricultural machinery and activity within configurable areas around wind turbines and can initiate turbine shutdown according to predefined permit and compliance rules.
Shutdown on Demand does not rely on a single fixed operating rule.
The response can be configured according to the environmental requirements, permit conditions and operating strategy of each project.
Not every project operates fully automatically — some applications may use operator confirmation or project-specific workflows.
Define mitigation zones, conditions and project-specific response rules.
Initiate the configured turbine response when defined criteria are met.
Provide operators with detections, events, alerts and system status.
Maintain records of detections and actions for operational review and reporting.
IRIDA systems are designed to connect environmental intelligence with turbine operation.
When configured mitigation conditions are reached, the system communicates the required response through the applicable turbine or SCADA interface, while turbine control and safety functions remain within the turbine's authorised control architecture.
