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

该项目考虑了一种新型装置，用于在海上风电场安装期间自动拉入和锁定中高压海底电缆。机械锁定系统旨在通过自动化每个涡轮机支撑结构内的电缆夹紧过程，减少操作对人员转移的可行天气窗口的依赖。与时间延迟相关的风险将最小化，在边缘海况的天气窗口期间，与船舶和涡轮机支撑结构之间的人员转移相关的风险也将最小化。

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.
