Submarine power cables: design, installation, damages and repair, environmental aspects

The demand for high-performance submarine power cables is increasing as more and more offshore wind parks are installed, and the national electric grids are interconnected. Submarine power cables are installed for the highest voltages and power to transport electric energy under the sea between islands, countries and even continents. The installation and operation of submarine power cables is much different from land cables. Still, in most textbooks on electricalpower systems, information on submarine cables is scarse. This book is closing the gap. Different species of submarine power cables and their application are explained. Students and electric engineers learn on the electric and mechanic properties of submarine cables. Project developers and utility managers will gain useful information on the necessary marine activities such as pre-laying survey, cable lay vessels, guard boats etc, for the submarine cable installation and repair. Written with more than 15 Experience with offshore cables Includes also environmental aspects INDICE: Application of submarine power cables.- Types of submarine power cables and their construction elements.- Thermal, mechanical and electric design.- Manufacture and testing.- Installation of submarine power cables.- Damagesand repair.- Joints.- Environmental impact from submarine power cables.- Someamusing stories.
