-- 威森新能源周三宣布推出一款新型浮式海上风电平台设计，旨在支持行业向大型下一代风力发电机组转型。 这家中国海洋工程公司表示，其工程师开发了一种四柱半潜式浮式平台，并在北大西洋的运行条件下将其与传统的三柱式设计进行了比较。 这项研究正值浮式海上风电开发商日益寻求能够支持超过16兆瓦的下一代风力发电机组的平台设计之际，这些风力发电机组需要在恶劣的海洋环境中具备更高的稳定性和韧性。 威森新能源海上风电总监陈伟民在一份声明中表示：“随着浮式海上风电向大容量风力发电机组发展，平台优化需要对结构动力学、水动力学和耦合响应进行综合评估。” 陈伟民表示，这项研究体现了系统级方法，并强调了在早期设计阶段进行全面评估的重要性。 漂浮式风电技术被视为将海上可再生能源发电扩展到固定式底部涡轮机无法应用的深水区的关键技术。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Royal Gold, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our unchanged 12-month target price of $354 is 24.0x our 2027 EPS estimate, nearly in line with RGLD's two-year average forward P/E of 23.5x and also close to peers' average forward P/E of 25.0x. We trim our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.20 to $12.05 and keep 2027 at $14.75. RGLD's Q1 results demonstrated the benefits of its 2025 transformational acquisitions, with record revenue ($469M), operating cash flow ($294M), and adjusted EPS ($2.72). The company maintains an attractive 83% adjusted EBITDA margin and strong liquidity of ~$1.1B. Management expects to fully repay its $525M revolving credit facility by Q4 2026 from operating cash flow at current metal prices. The portfolio is well-diversified, with no single asset contributing more than 12.5% of revenue, and includes significant growth from Greenstone, Platreef (first revenue expected in Q2), and Warintza (targeting permits by year-end). RGLD added a $600M accordion facility to pursue larger transactions and authorized a $500M buyback program.
