Summary
The installation of submarine power cables has increased dramatically over the past decade to connect offshore wind farms. Accurate current rating calculations for these cables can avoid over-sizing the cable and hence reduce the overall system cost. However, current industry guidelines for such calculations are primarily derived from and applicable to underground land cables. While recent studies have pointed out that existing international standards for land cables may underestimate the ampacity of submarine cables, they have largely focused on cables that are fully buried in the seabed. Therefore, this paper aims to fill the gap by proposing an analytical method for current rating calculation for submarine cables that are either completely immersed in water or partially buried in the seabed.
