Subsea power cables play a critical role in the penetration of renewable energies such as wind, wave & tidal energy into the transmission grids. They are also important links for islands which can be connected to the main grids to secure their energy supply, in addition to reducing their CO2 emissions by limiting the power generation from thermal power plants.
Subsea cable installation, operations & maintenance is extremely difficult to manage due to a variety of uncertainties & technical challenges surrounding marine & subsea cable operations. This impacts cable reliability which is key to ensuring that energy continues to flow when and to where it is needed.
Maintaining the reliability of the cables and minimising downtime is also a costly affair and a very tedious process, with the average cost of repairing a subsea cable being enormous and has accounted for 77% of the total financial losses in for instance global offshore wind projects.
This is not to mention also how a lack of maintenance knowledge and poorly structured maintenance programs for subsea power cables can lead to a significant reduction in operational efficiency & performance thus a loss in system reliability & disruption to renewable energy generation & distribution operations.
Reliability & maintenance is the most important part of any subsea power cable operations. That is why we are bringing together key experts from the subsea community globally to discuss the current challenges in continuous risk assessment for cables, cable burial, route optimization, cost reduction, cable repairs, operation and maintenance, and life extension in order to identify best practices.
It will showcase real practical examples on what the industry can do to produce optimized solution across the board with regards to survey, burial, engineering, installation, protection, and repair and explore new areas of innovation and techniques for cost reduction.
This event provides a unique platform to exchange ideas, network with key representatives from the subsea community and exchange experience to successfully master subsea power cable maintenance, protection, and repair processes.
