Offshore Wind Farm Cable Protection

According to 2020 China Wind Power Hoisting Capacity Statistical Bulletin, the scale of offshore wind power installation in China has grown rapidly in recent years. In 2020, the newly added installed capacity of offshore wind power reached 2.53 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 52.4%, making it the country with the fastest growth in offshore wind power installation worldwide.

 

POLYWIN worked closely with wind farm, and dedicated urethane system is developed to meet needs of offshore wind power generation. The marine climate and underwater environment are variable and harsh, and submarine cables must resist high salt corrosion, ocean floor wear, and the impact of dispersed ocean currents. Moreover, the cable is fragile and expensive, and necessary cable protection solutions must be provided, especially in areas with strong waves and tides. Our protection has significant wear resistance, tear resistance, waterproofing and corrosion resistance functions, greatly extending the service life of the cable and helping to meet the safety and environmental protection challenges in green energy applications.

In addition, we focus on providing detailed and customized solutions for this industry. We have already considered of every fixed point between pipes and cables, include bending limiters, bending stiffeners, risers, etc. Submarine cables are prone to excessive bending when encountering large-scale ocean impact, which can cause significant economic losses to offshore wind power and other industries due to cable damage. Urethane bending limiter has the advantages of low density, low corrosion resistance, and accurate positioning. The chain structure formed by interlocking of two bending limiter modules can limit cable curvature radius, strictly ensure the reasonable fixation and safe operation of the submarine cable.


Due to relatively harsh working environment , it is crucial to choose most stable and durable materials, POLYWIN urethane system also provides best solution for offshore oil and gas fields.
