Wind Energy – Pre-termination
Prysmian Group has successfully completed the dynamic cables’ pre-termination phase for the Provence Grand Large floating offshore wind farm (FOW) which is planned to be installed off the coast of France.
Pre-termination is a key step that involved pre-installing dynamic cable accessories as well as innovative electrical and optical terminations onto each dynamic cable end that will enable fast and easy installation, disconnection and reconnection on the wind turbine floaters.
The pre-termination works took place at the Company’s dynamic cable center of excellence in Nordenham, Germany in summer 2023, and represent a milestone for Prysmian as this is the first time the Group is delivering dynamic 66 kV cables with these innovative accessories that can ‘plug in and out’, a feature that will allow offshore floating structures to be swiftly disconnected and moved when needed.
