Sydney-headquartered technology company Fulcrum3D will supply Capital City Renewables with SODAR (Sonic Detection and Ranging) remote sensing technology, complimenting Capital City Renewables’ met mast offerings.
Becoming more accessible to customers across the United States and Canada, Fulcrum3D’s SODARs will provide real-time environmental wind data accessible through Fulcrum3D’s online FlightDECK service.
Dr Colin Bonner, Fulcrum3D Managing Director and Co-founder, said, “partnering with Capital City Renewables is an exciting step in our U.S. office’s growth and working towards using more of our SODAR units on more North American projects.
“In Capital City Renewables, we have found a partner with the same dedication to advanced products and measurement which make meaningful contributions to the development of clean energy projects.
“We are excited to work with Capital City Renewables to continue to plug the growing gap of cost-effective and reliable wind remote sensing options through our U.S. office.”
Capital City Renewables CEO Kiril Lozanov said, “With other SODAR options phasing out of the market, our customers continue to want reliable remote sensing without being forced to adopt LIDAR at a much greater cost to their project. There is a tremendous gap growing for cost-effective, accurate and reliable remote sensing. Capital City Renewables is excited to be the first U.S. reseller to fill this gap with Fulcrum3D’s SODAR.
“Fulcrum3D’s SODAR units are tried and tested in the Australian outback, across the Asia-Pacific and are currently deployed in several U.S. states. They provide rugged, relocatable and reliable technology, which our customers are desperate for.
“Offering access to real-time and remote sensing with advanced frequency tuning, which allows for echo mitigation and higher data recovery, is a game-changer for Capital City Renewables and will be for many of our customers.”
Trailer-based for re-deployable mobility while on site, Fulcrum3D’s SODAR units provide wind data for up to 200m throughout all stages of the wind resource campaign, including greenfield assessment, met tower co-location, and standalone deployment.
