Cable Solutions for Wind Turbine

OVERVIEW

Linking sustainable ideas to real-word results

To meet an ever-growing need for power, the world is increasingly turning to renewable and sustainably-sourced energy.

 

In response to this demand, Prysmian Group’s cables are helping wind turbine manufacturers around the globe to harness the true potential of this natural power source.

Our customers

Our cables—used in wind turbine and tower operations—are hard at work across the renewables sector, supporting the work of turbine manufacturers, contractors and developers.

 

We provide a range of cables, accessories and services for all wind power generation applications—from the generator to the grid. Applying our many years of expertise and global capabilities, Prysmian offers one of the world's most proven and comprehensive product ranges for wind power generators.

Inside Wind Turbines

For voltage classes of power from 6 kV up to 55 kV, we offer single- and four-core medium-voltage flexible cables. They are optimized for torsion twist in the tower down to -40°C.

For the connection from the generator to the transformer down the tower. Fully optimized for twisting at high and low temperatures in accordance to various standards.

Copper and FO data cables for use in fixed and flexible installations. Designed for data transmission in low and high temperatures in accordance to various standards.

Prysmian specializes in the design, manufacture and delivery of customized cable sets with various terminations. Including low- and medium-voltage cables, data cables as well as fiber optic cables.

Different applications require different designs. For special application like EMC or hot oil, we have specially designed cables.

We have a comprehensive and specialized program of prefabricated cable kits, customized solutions and accessories, for within or between towers, and grid connection.

All products within the Click-Fit® range (including outdoor terminations, joints, Y (branch) joints and GIS/Transformer connectors) are based on the "Click-Fit® Plug & Power” concept for high-voltage extruded cable accessories that enables optimum ease and speed of assembly, maximum reliability and maintenance-free operation, by ways of factory prepared (identical) cable ends. To minimize offshore installation times, cable ends can be prepared onshore and then installed and clamped inside the offshore turbine.

FOCUS ON

Asset Monitoring Systems

Prysmian’s cabling solutions and services offer a new level of simplicity in renewable technology with a simplified and optimized network design, while saving time and money. Today, wind farm reliability can be increased with Prysmian’s innovative testing and fixed monitoring systems for partial discharge (PD) and distributed temperature (DTS) measurements. Based on Prysmian exclusive patented PRY-CAM sensing technology, PRY-CAM integrated and autonomous PD monitoring systems for electrical components allow you to monitor the conditions of medium-voltage components of a wind turbine continuously tracking PD and temperature activity.

Prysmian offers a comprehensive range of LV and MV accessories for glanding, jointing, connecting and terminating. The product portfolio includes joints (also transition, trifurcating and branch joints), terminations (indoor and outdoor), connectors, separable connectors, glands, cleats and fixings, low-voltage link boxes, tooling and resins.

 

If additional service is required, we also provide engineering support services for all power system specifications and requirements.
