Abstract
The number of offshore wind farms will keep increasing in the future as a part of the shift towards a CO2 free energy production. The energy harvested from the wind farm must be brought to shore, which is often done by using a three-phase armoured submarine power cable. The use of an armour increases the losses in armoured cables compared to unarmoured cables.
In this paper a thorough state of the art analysis is conducted on armour losses in three-phase armoured submarine power cables. The analysis shows that the IEC 60287-1-1 standard overestimates the armour losses which lead to the installation of cables with excessive phase conductor cross section.
This paper also presents an example of the potential economic benefits of having a better knowledge of the losses introduced by the armour.
