Project Experience

JDR has been selected by WindPlus as the preferred cable supplier for the WindFloat Atlantic (WFA) 25MW floating wind farm.

The project – located off the coast of Viana de Castelo, Northern Portugal – will see the industry’s first application of dynamic cables operating at 66kV. The scope of supply includes the design and manufacture of array cables to suit the three WindFloat semi-submersible platforms, supporting MVOW V164 8.33MW wind turbines. The floating wind turbines will be connected via a network of inter-array cables to one export cable.

To support the project, JDR has designed a unique, easy to install, dynamic cable break away system (BSR Latch and T-Connector Break Away System (T-BAS), which protects the floating platform in the unlikely event of a mooring line failure. JDR’s proposal also includes HV termination and testing.

WindFloat Atlantic brings together two pioneering developments in array cables: dynamic cable design for floating offshore wind and high-voltage power transmission, through 66kV cable technology.
