Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

We know what the world of submarine cables looks like today, but what about the future? The future of offshore wind lies in wind farms that float on ballasts and moorings, with the cables laid directly on the seafloor. Optimizing the designs of subsea and terrestrial cables is an important part of building a sustainable future.
