Abstract
  • Bird and bat collisions with wind turbines are a problem that needs to be better quantified for its impact to be fully understood. This thesis documents portions of the design of a sensor patch module for use on wind turbines blades to detect impacts caused by birds and bats. This is part of an ongoing project that has created modules with cameras that are placed at the roots of the wind turbine blade, with which these patches will communicate. The project goal is to provide the prototype of a system for biologists to gather data. The design was done by surveying available technologies and choosing the parts that resulted in a sensor patch module that can be powered by energy harvesting and run wirelessly. The proof-of-concept prototype was tested on a wind turbine blade. It provides a basis for the continuation of the project.
