Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

These networks include cables that connect wind farms to the shore and supply electricity to our power grid infrastructure (Figure 3). and Norway. As the offshore wind industry continues to grow, our need to develop power cables that can safely and efficiently connect these farms to our power grid grows as well.

Inside the Global Race to Tap Potent Offshore Wind

Cars That Think

There’s good reason for this hustle: The United Kingdom wants to add 34 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030, en route to decarbonizing its grid by 2035. Equinor used the same design for an 88-MW, 11-turbine array —the world’s largest, though probably not for long—completed this year in Norway. s next frontier.
