The Carbon Trust has launched a project to build industry consensus on setting the future standard array cable voltage for offshore wind farms. The High Voltage Array Systems (Hi-VAS) project is the latest joint industry initiative under the Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) programme. It aims to understand the costs, benefits and technology challenges associated with raising the array voltage. The wider consortium of the Hi-VAS project consists of seven wind farm developers, EnBW, Equinor, Orsted, RWE, ScottishPower Renewables, Shell and Vattenfall.  The £500,000 project is set to run until ...

New recommendations for fibre optic cable design to mitigate the risk of export cable failure have been published by the Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) in the UK. The cost-effective design changes are the outcome of the Fibre Optic Cable Protection Assessment project managed by the Carbon Trust and funded by OWA partners EnBW, Equinor, Orsted, RWE, ScottishPower Renewables, Shell, SSE Renewables, and Vattenfall. The recommendations are likely to increase the cost of the export cable by between 0-0.5% depending on the design that it replaces and will not affect the installation cost. Therefor...
