Abstract

New green energy sources deployed at sea, in mobile platforms, will use power cables in order to transport the energy generated at sea surface to the bottom. Theses power cables will be exposed to the dynamic behaviour of the platform movements, due to waves, currents and wind. A preliminary study of the static behaviour of these cables in function of parameters like mass, bending stiffness, length, water density or seabed friction is presented in this article. Simulations are been done with Orcaflex 9.4 environment. Three different cables have been simulated to observe their deformation and forces.
