Longer lasting power cables make for greener wind power

Dynamic cable testing conducted as part of the EU-funded MARINET2 project has yielded promising results for extending the fatigue life of cables used in future floating offshore wind applications. The tests showed that the addition of a device known as a bend stiffener helps power cables survive 3.7 times as many cycles and makes them 72.5 percent stiffer than the power cable alone.
