STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Seaway 7 has contracted Trelleborg’s applied technologies operation to provide 281 NjordGuard cable protection systems for Vattenfall’s Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm project in the Dutch North Sea.
These will protect the inner-array power cables for 140 monopile wind turbines, as well as the array cables at the points where they meet the two offshore substations on the project, from over-bending, abrasion and fatigue.
Production will take place in Trelleborg’s manufacturing facility in the North West of England.
NjordGuard is an integrated cable protection system designed and developed to protect offshore wind farm power cables in wind turbine generators and offshore substation platforms.
Easily assembled on a vessel to allow speedy installation, the system’s highly abrasion resistant API 17L certified Uraduct material enables it to travel over the seabed without damage, extending cable life. It is said to facilitate easier installation, reuse and removal without diver and ROV intervention.
With its installed capacity of 1,500 MW, Vattenfall’s Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm is expected to be fully operational in 2023. It will be the first to be developed without government subsidies.
