OVERVIEW
With a growing drive towards the use of green and renewable energy, wind farm developers are continuously looking for innovative and reliable solutions to lower costs and enhance productivity. We offer the full range of inter-array cables.
Inter-array cables need to be particularly robust to keep them from being damaged by external factors. And offshore wind farms are increasingly growing in size, and moving to deeper water and farther from shore. Prysmian’s Research & Development labs have pushed the industry forward by developing a higher-voltage cable systems. They are more sustainable than previous inter-array cables because they allow customers to reduce the number of turbines - associated array cables and installation costs.
In other fields, our systems specifically designed and constructed for use with wind turbines in deeper waters, using our rigorously tested dynamic cables, which have an enhanced ability to withstand mechanical fatigue over the entire expected life of a system, are changing the game for wind farm development. In short, we provide the means to ensure the future sustainable and reliable supply of renewable energy to consumers today.
Prysmian provides turnkey inter-array cable systems, delivering projects with a comprehensive EPCI approach. We offer complete cable system solutions and services for our Clients projects, considering innovative approaches, utilising our extensive engineering resources, manufacturing facilities, and wide range of installation vessels and burial equipment, under our own dedicated project management, to provide cost and technically efficient cable connections within the offshore wind parks.
We’re hard at work investing, developing and mastering leaner engineering processes, considering innovative products, tools and methodologies to meet all our customers’ needs. Independent studies have shown that inter-array cables operating at higher voltage levels, such as our 66 kV inter-array cable systems, offer considerable advantages, particularly an increased cost effectiveness reducing the capital expenditure significantly for such wind farms in comparison to the currently more widely applied 33 kV systems.
