An Automated Pull-in and Lock-Off System for Offshore Wind Farm Cable Installation

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project considers a novel device for the automated pull-in and lock-off of medium and high voltage subseacables during offshore wind farm installation. The mechanical lock-off system aims to decrease thedependency of operations on viable weather windows for personnel transfer by automating the cable clampingprocess inside each turbine support structure. The risks associated with time delays will be minimised, as willthose relating to personnel transfer between vessels and turbine supports structures during weather windowswith marginal sea states.
