Windfarm Power Cable Systems

The selection of a power cable to carry renewable energy from both onshore and offshore wind farms requires careful consideration if the power cable is to provide an economic and reliable service life.

For offshore wind farm installations, the cable design must be chosen to withstand the rigours of subsea installation, seabed environment and marine life activity. This accompanies the requirements for long length power transmission with low charging currents and low energy loss, using an optimised ac or dc voltage.
