6 FAQs about [Requirements for the use of wind power cable]
What are wind turbine cables?
Wind turbine cables are essential for delivering energy generated by wind turbines. They include power transmission and distribution as well as control, electronic, data transmission and fibre optic cables. Wind turbines consist of a nacelle, tower, and base. Onshore and offshore wind conditions differ.
What are the trends in wind turbine cables?
One manufacturer pointed out a few trends in the wind turbine cables. The biggest trend is that European turbine manufacturers setting up shop in the U.S. are looking for North American standards and UL approved designs, so there is movement from European IEC cable requirements to UL type requirements.
Are wind turbine cables NFPA 79 rated?
Other cables carry power from the generator down tower to switch gear at the tower base. The issue surrounding cables in the nacelle is their flexibility at low temperatures, and oil resistance. Resilient cables for wind turbines should be Wind Turbine Tray Cable (WTTC) approved, and NFPA 79 (12.2.2) rated for constant flex.
Are wind turbine cables performance based?
In Europe, IEC standards are performance based. There is less concern for how small or thin a cable is as long as it meets the performance spec. To ground a wind turbine, a cable that is essentially copper-clad steel provides an alternative to solid and stranded copper.
What is a resilient wind turbine cable?
Resilient cables for wind turbines should be Wind Turbine Tray Cable (WTTC) approved, and NFPA 79 (12.2.2) rated for constant flex. Cables should have a torsional and bend high-flex life that meets the OEMs’ cold-bend test, with a flex rating to -40°C.
Are wind turbine cables tough?
The ER says the cable meets physical toughness requirements that allow exposing the wiring in particular applications. Wiring installed outside a tray is referred to as open wiring. One manufacturer pointed out a few trends in the wind turbine cables.
