Why Can only Submarine DC Cables be Used for Long-Distance Submarine Power Transmission?

ZMS high-voltage XLPE DC submarine cable development and technological innovation

The fundamental reason: the capacitive current of AC cables limits their transmission distance. This is for long-distance submarine projects, the transmission of large power is very difficult. Submarine DC cables have no capacitive current, transmission capacity is not limited by distance. So only a DC cable can be used to transmit power.

From the beginning of last year until now, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and so on broke out one after another. In these wars and conflicts, aerial cables, concentric cables, submarine cables and so on all play different degrees of important role.

Spain’s First Offshore Cable Wind Project Starts Generating Electricity


DemoSATH, the floating offshore wind project led by Spanish engineering company Saitec Offshore Technologies in cooperation with German energy company RWE Offshore Wind and Japan’s Kansai Electric Power, has reached an important milestone as it begins to generate electricity. This is another important application of wind offshore cable in this project.

Wind power cables: the “nerves in the veins” of wind turbines

Wind energy is the kinetic energy generated by the movement of air.

Wind power energy has a large amount of reserves, which is 10 times more than water energy, and is widely distributed and never exhausted.
