The construction of Dogger Bank, which will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm, has reached another milestone with the installation of the world’s first unmanned high-voltage direct current (HVDC) offshore substation.
The substation is the first of three platforms supplied by Aibel to be installed at Dogger Bank, which is being built in three 1.2GW phases, A, B, and C.
NKT Receives €155 Million Submarine Cable Order European cable manufacturer Ankett NKT has been awarded a €155 million cable order for the electrification of the North Alvheim North (NOA) and Krafla offshore fields in the NOAKA region of the North Sea. The project includes the design, manufacture, and installation of more than 255 kilometers of … Read more
In recent years, as countries have increased their investment in the energy sector, the investment in energy construction has been increasing, and the demand for energy production safety will become more urgent on a global scale. An offshore oil platform is one of the main facilities for offshore oil extraction and one of the main facilities used for onshore oil drilling platforms.
Cable manufacturer NKT, its suppliers, and customers have agreed to use low-carbon copper for a 320 kV HVDC cable that NKT is supplying to Dogger Bank C in the North Sea, which is being developed by SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Eni Plenitude.
The use of low-carbon copper will reduce the carbon footprint of the high-voltage power cable system by more than 23,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, which is equivalent to the emissions of 7,700 average household cars in one year.
On foreign video sites, there is such a video with 1.7 million plays, the video, the naughty shark is destroying the submarine cable, accidentally captured by the camera. Then the question arises, what is the role of the submarine cable? Do sharks do damage from time to time?
The types of submarine cables can be briefly divided into four aspects.
1. From the structure, is mainly divided into three-core submarine cables and single-core submarine cables. Low- and medium-voltage lines use mostly three-core submarine cable, and high-voltage lines use mostly single-core submarine cable.
Comprehensive media reports, on January 15, Tonga Hong Aha Apai Island undersea volcano after a violent eruption triggered a widespread tsunami, resulting in Tonga undersea fiber optic cable disruption, satellite communications equipment damage. It was originally expected that the submarine fiber optic cable might be repaired in just four weeks, but a combination of multiple opinions indicates that the reality and problems with the submarine cable are worse than initially understood.
Google announced plans to build a new submarine cable connecting the United States, Britain and Spain, the BBC reported. The project is expected to be completed in 2022.
Google said it was integrating new technology into the cable, which was a major upgrade to the existing old lines. It is estimated that underwater data cables are crucial to the global communication infrastructure, carrying about 98% of the world’s data.
It is reported that the latest cable, named “grace hopper” after an American computer scientist and Naval Reserve Officer, will land in Britain in bud, Cornwall. This is Google’s fourth submarine cable.
