ORE/22/095 - Floating Offshore Wind - Cable Topology Comparison: Risk and Reliability Assessment

This project is a technology agnostic high-level study of the costs, risks and opportunities for different cable topology and cable connection methods (including subsea wet mate connectors) for offshore floating wind, in comparison to a more conventional topology in a daisy chain configuration between turbines. This study is important as it aims to answer the following questions: • What topologies will potentially be used for future FOW sites (e.g. daisy chain, fishbone, or star)? • What type of connectors will...
