The polymer-blend material is designed to provide greater insulation, improved electrical connection reliability and increased energy to power conversion for on- and offshore electricity lines, to reduce overall network costs.
"Innovative technological improvements in the performance of onshore and undersea power cables is an important step in the drive to lengthen the life of connections between offshore wind turbines, and between wind and marine offshore renewable energy power stations and onshore connections, improving their ability to handle increasingly variable peak loads," says ORE Catapult Innovation Programmes director Chris Hill.
