The project addressed current challenges and gaps in the modelling of submarine HVDC cables, i.e. taking the detailed description of the cable cross-section into account and the sea/seabed as the outer media. The MoM-SO formulation enables a seamless representation of stranded or tubular conductors rather than an equivalent solid or tubular conductor for the core, sheath and armour layers. Such achievement is game changer in the seek for a reliable digital twin.
Some of the current challenges and gaps in the modelling of submarine HVDC cables, i.e. taking the detailed description of the cable cross-section into account and the sea/seabed as the outer media were overcome. The MoM-SO formulation enables a seamless representation of stranded and tubular conductors rather than a single equivalent conductor for the core, sheath and armour layers. Such achievement is game changer in the seek for a reliable digital twin and efficient way to compute the electrical parameters of submarine HVDC cables, allowing for more accurate evaluations of offshore energy facilities and transmission systems.
The CABOTioN project has the potential to contribute to the development of cost-effective solutions for offshore wind energy and HVDC interconnections, which are key components of European energy transition goals.. This could have significant socio-economic impact and wider societal implications, including reducing the cost of electrical infrastructure, increasing the penetration of renewable energy sources, and promoting regional cooperation for a greener and unified electricity market.
