A bird and bat monitoring system has been developed that uses marine radar, IR camera and acoustic recorders for wind farm applications. IR video recording is used to monitor birds and bats activity which will be useful for wildlife biologists in developing mitigation techniques to minimize impact of wind turbines on birds and bats. In order to process nocturnal migration data that is recorded from...
An Evolutionary Neural Network (ENN) is developed to identify bats by their vocalization characteristics. This is in an effort to identify local bat species as a large number of bat fatalities near wind turbines have been reported. ENN is based on the Genetic Algorithm, which can be used for optimization of the weight selection of the neural network. We then compare ENN with different classification...
A radar and IR based avian monitoring system for an offshore wind turbine application has been designed. The avian monitoring system is capable of capturing radar and IR data. The data is synchronized and sent to a remote computer via 3G system. The IR camera needs to be synchronized with the radar view from a remote location. The system was constructed and successfully tested for remote synchronization...
This paper describes the development of a software tool for simulating and generating fully parallel generic VHDL representations of Fast Fourier Transforms. Several fixed-point number optimizations are described with emphasis on maximizing speed and/or minimizing FPGA area. Twiddle factor bit precision and its effects on FPGA area usage are also explored.
