2010, Turner and Townsend, Blyth NaREC Offshore Demonstrator Site, Cable Shore Landing Study series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_81eea401-8c13-4cae-8683-dc93fe42a867 The National Renewable Energy Centre Limited (Narec) is in the process of developing an offshore wind farm test site in the North Sea near Blyth, Northumberland. It is currently proposed that the test site will consist of up to four pre-consented arrays which will provide a facility for wind turbine manufacturers and developers (tenants) to deploy prototype or demonstration turbines and foundations. The offshore arrays will be connected to a Narec onshore substation using a combination of offshore and onshore cable systems presently anticipated to be insulated for 33 kV. The precise location and installation conditions for the offshore cables are currently unknown. In order to facilitate development of the cable routes, Narec has requested Turner & Townsend to model the 33 kV cable installations from the location of the offshore electrical connection facility to the submarine/land cable transition pits which are to be located in the vicinity of a railway embankment at Cambois, Northumberland. In this regard Mott MacDonald Limited is subcontracted to Turner and Townsend to prepare a report on cable options including ratings and other technical issues. The purpose of the cable rating study is to study only those areas that will negatively affect the current carrying capability of the circuit and to aid understanding of various aspects of the route and their effects on the current rating of the cable circuits. 201008
