Fugro’s Houston laboratory has doubled its advanced soil testing capacity for three-way bender element triaxial and cyclic simple shear testing to meet the demand from offshore wind projects in the US. Three-way bender element testing is performed on triaxial tests and uses piezoelectric transducers to determine shear wave velocity in different directions, which is incorporated into the design of the offshore wind turbine foundations. Cyclic simple shear tests determine the dynamic soil properties used to analyse offshore wind turbines under wave and seismic loading conditions. By the end of June, Fugro will have increased cyclic simple shear testing and triaxial…

Canadian Solar has closed $30 million in funding from the China-Portuguese Speaking Countries Cooperation and Development Fund (CPDFund). The funds will be used for development and construction of solar projects in Brazil. The company has 1.7 GWp of solar PV projects developed and awarded with PPAs in the federal and regional energy auctions, of which 480 MWp are under operation. “We are pleased to collaborate with the CPDFund again to support the development and construction of more solar projects in Brazil. The last financing transaction in 2017 helped us bring our first Brazilian project, the 191 MWp Pirapora I power…
