Offshore wind | Vattenfall

Synaptec was commissioned to retrofit the dual export cables of Vattenfall’s Aberdeen Bay offshore windfarm to provide synchronous and permanent harmonic monitoring and termination health monitoring. The ability to correlate electrical and mechanical information in one real-time system enables Vattenfall to identify far earlier the electrical stresses which accelerate cable insulation and termination failures by comparing harmonic content, phase current amplitudes, and termination temperatures
over time.

Equipment installed: DES Interrogator, Synthesis®, Photonic Current Transducer and Passive Temperature Transducer | Communication protocol: IEC 61850-9-2 | Date of commissioning: 2021
