The BATmode system is an acoustic bat detector especially developed for the challenges and difficult environmental conditions of bat monitoring at wind turbines and measuring masts. It enables for efficient long-term studies in compliance with legal guidelines, as well as for on-demand real-time curtailment of wind turbines when bat activity is detected.
With its extended customizability, the BATmode system can be optimally adapted to the requirements of your study design. Therefore, the BATmode main unit is available in three configurations – BATmode 3B, BATmode 3S and BATmode 3S+. These differ in terms of storage capacity and the integration of a cellular module, among other things. Each variant can be equipped with up to four microphone channels using UltraSoundGates from our partner Avisoft-Bioacoustics. For each microphone installation location, you can of course use the microphone best suited to the specific requirements. Choose between the GM50 and GM90 microphone discs, which were especially developed for monitoring at nacelle height, and the TM10 and TM20 microphones for tower wall or measuring mast mounting. All microphones are as 'Plus' version also available with a microphone capsule protection.
The proven UltraSoundGates and their outstanding bat call filter enable a highly selective Probat-compatible recording of bat calls. Subsequently, recorded calls can be analysed using our AI bat call detector to exclude any background noise and identify bat species. This allows the system to be operated reliably throughout an entire monitoring season without changing the storage medium.
A wide range of remote access options are available for remote control and maintenance of the system. The system offers LTE mobile communications, Wi-Fi and wired LAN network connectivity. This allows you to remotely control the system via SMS, our BATconnect app, myBAT cloud or external remote desktop solutions, download data and keep an eye on system performance at all times. Thus, ascents to the nacelle become obsolete and costs are reduced. In addition, the system is equipped with an open MQTT interface for integration into larger networks and for sending live shutdown signals.
These features make the BATmode system the perfect bat detection system for a wide range of applications. From Probat-compatible long-term bat recording at nacelle height of wind turbines, to measuring mast or offshore installations as well as on-demand real time curtailment.
