DNV GL announced the launch of its guideline "Subsea power cables in shallow water renewable energy applications" (DNV-RP-J301), which provides a comprehensive review of subsea power cable practice and advice for managing the risk commonly associated with the cables.
The guideline was developed by the Joint Industry Project (JIP) known as ‘CableRisk’, which was established in August 2012 by DNV GL and 15 partner organisations including including: Bohlen & Doyen, Boskalis Offshore, DONG Energy, Electrabel GDF SUEZ ,Iberdrola, Inch Cape (EDPR, Repsol), JDR Cable Systems, Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke, Offshore Marine Management, Siem Offshore Contractors, Tekmar Energy, Tideway Offshore Solutions, Van Oord Offshore Wind Projects and VSMC. The subsea power cable guideline is a comprehensive technical guide that covers all project phases of subsea cable projects. It applies to the entire length of the cable and its surroundings including assessment of project conditions, planning and execution of works as well as asset management.
