Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's ThermalTracker Software Can Aid Responsible Wind Farm Siting and Operations

Oct. 10, 2017

Developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Marine Sciences Laboratory and supported by DOE’s Wind Energy Technologies Office, ThermalTracker is open source, plug-and-play software that can be used with any standard desktop computer, thermal camera, and statistical software to quantify the presence and behaviors of animals in offshore locations with near real-time, continuous monitoring. Read more about this innovative technology and how it can help researchers and the wind industry to meet monitoring requirements and collect more data about bird and bat activity at proposed wind farm sites.
