Tekmar Energy has delivered cable protection systems (CPS) for 328 km of 66KV inter-array cables at Dogger Bank A, a critical phase in constructing the world’s largest offshore wind farm off the east coast of England.
The operation involves DEME Offshore’s cable-laying vessel Viking Neptun and burial operations by Living Stone. The network will include 95 cables, some extending 13.8 km, connecting Dogger Bank A’s 95 Haliade-X 13MW turbines to the offshore converter station. Electricity will be converted to direct current via an advanced high-voltage direct current system and transmitted to the onshore converter station.
Tekmar Energy’s CPS ensures long-term reliability by protecting the inter-array cables from damage. Tekmar Group’s RYDER unit conducted the Orcaflex analysis and geotechnical design, ensuring optimal protection and installation in challenging offshore conditions.
