Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore wind farms, and in particular to a method and system for monitoring and evaluating the impact of offshore wind farm operations on bird migration. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the rapid development of offshore wind farms, the impact of offshore wind farms on the marine ecological environment, especially on bird habitats, has attracted great attention from all parties. Scientifically and accurately assessing the impact of offshore wind farm operations on bird migration is of great significance for operators to take effective intervention measures in a timely manner and for management departments to formulate supporting regulatory measures. Existing assessment methods for the impact of offshore wind farms on birds are mostly based on theoretical analysis and qualitative judgment, such as combining bird behavioral ecology (flight altitude, habitat distribution, etc.) with wind farm operation characteristics for theoretical analysis and evaluation, or deploying bird decoys around target wind farms and conducting indirect analysis through bird dynamic behavior characteristics.

[0003] However, traditional theoretical analysis and evaluation often ignores some of the positive impacts of wind farms on surrounding birds. At the same time, qualitative evaluation methods are unable to predict the impact of the continued operation of wind farms on birds.

[0023] The overall avoidance rate of birds relative to the wind farm is calculated by combining the macro avoidance rate and the meso avoidance rate, which is used as the final bird avoidance rate.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, when deploying monitoring points, the monitoring points should cover the boundary and center of the wind farm as much as possible;

[0055] However, in the case of wind farms with irregular boundaries, the main migration routes of birds need to be fully considered when deploying monitoring points to facilitate real-time online monitoring of birds;

[0056] The monitoring equipment at the monitoring point shall be based on the monitoring equipment installed on the wind turbines, booster stations and other facilities in the offshore wind farm. When conditions are limited, the monitoring facilities built independently can be used, and there is no restriction here;

[0067] First, based on the identified bird target, the rectangular coordinates and time of the target in the picture are extracted from the two consecutive frames of the recognition result, and then the Euclidean distance between adjacent points is calculated in sequence, and the flight speed in the corresponding period is calculated based on the time window;

[0068] After calculating the flight speed in each time period in turn, the average flight speed of the birds in the trajectory is obtained;

[0069] Then, based on the bird density and average flight speed of each bird in different areas, the length of its flight track per unit area is calculated.

[0070] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the flight trajectory of each bird is numbered and the corresponding flight speed is calculated; first, the target (i.e., the bird) is identified, and the rectangular coordinates and time (X1, Y1) / T1, (X2, Y2) / T2.....(X n , Y n ) / T n (n≥5); then calculate the Euclidean distance between adjacent points in sequence, and calculate the flight speed in the corresponding period:

[0072] After calculating the flight speed in each time period in turn, the average flight speed of the birds in the trajectory is obtained. At the same time, in order to improve the accuracy of the evaluation, only the data whose values ​​are within the preset range are selected for the average flight speed for the subsequent bird avoidance rate calculation;

[0073] In this embodiment, only data greater than 2.77 m / s and less than 30 m / s are selected for subsequent avoidance rate calculation.
