System recording the collisions of flying animals with wind turbines, its application and manner of recording collisions of flying animals with wind turbines with the use of the system

A method for recording collisions of flying animals with wind turbines and indicating where they fell on the ground including a system comprising a wind turbine including a tower, a nacelle, and a rotor with blades, and a sensor system including a sensor and peripheral device, where the sensor is mount on the nacelle and/or the tower and the sensor is a LIDAR sensor, a 3D light field camera, or a 3D radar configured to scan a space around the wind turbine in a field of view of the sensor, the method comprising:

• tracing a trajectory of the flying animal using the sensor as the flying animal falls after the collision with the wind turbine;
• and
• obtaining an indication from the sensor that a collision occurred between a flying animal and the wind turbine, comprising:
• continuously monitoring one or more coordinates and a speed of the flying animal using the sensor as the flying animal falls in 3D space within a range of the field of view of the sensor from when the flying animal enters the field of view of the sensor until the flying animal contacts the ground.

• tracing a trajectory of the flying animal using the sensor and the one or more further sensors as the flying animal falls after the collision with the wind turbine;
• and
• obtaining an indication from the sensor and the one or more further sensors that a collision occurred between a flying animal and the wind turbine, comprising:
• continuously monitoring one or more coordinates and a speed of the flying animal using the sensor and the one or more further sensors as the flying animal falls in 3D space within a range of a field of view of the sensor of the multiple fields of view of the one or more further sensors from when the flying animal enters the field of view of the sensor and the multiple fields of view of the one or more further sensors until the flying animal contacts the ground.
