Calling for entries from companies and consortia interested to undertake a study to understand the key failure modes and standards for dynamic cables for floating wind farms.
The FLW JIP wish to obtain a greater understanding of dynamic cable failure rates and standards, to assist with the understanding a data collection required for future floating wind development and dynamic cable modelling and/or testing. The outputs of this work should provide failure rates for dynamic cables to be used for OPEX calculations in floating wind farm development; standardise test methods for dynamic cables; and standardise fatigue modelling methods for dynamic cables. This will allow industry to have a standard process when working with dynamic cables to reduce the overall cost of dynamic cables.
This project aims to benefit the floating offshore wind industry by providing a basis of cable failure calculations which is crucial when estimating operational cost, insurance, and advising on final investment decisions.
