Title:
SUBMARINE CABLE PROTECTION MODULE FOR CONNECTING OFFSHORE FACILITIES AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING SUBMARINE CABLE FOR CONNECTING OFFSHORE FACILITIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/080434
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for installing a submarine cable protection module connected to offshore facilities, such as offshore wind turbines, offshore oilfield facilities, and so on, and installing a submarine cable for connecting offshore facilities. The method for installing a submarine cable protection module for connecting offshore facilities and a submarine cable for connecting offshore facilities, according to the present invention, provides a structure in which a submarine cable protected by a bend restrictor, a flexible protection tube, and a centraliser is fixed to a lower support structure of an offshore facility and passes through a metal tube positioned above the sea surface, and the centralizer at the tip of the submarine cable is tightly coupled to a bottom entrance of the metal tube, such that the submarine cable is installed. This structure prevents marine organisms from entering the metal tube, thereby simplifying cable insertion or cable removal operations. Additionally, the present invention allows for cable insertion operations to be conducted with less influence from marine weather conditions, resulting in decreased installation time and costs. Moreover, a ventilation hole is formed through the centralizer connected to the metal tube, thereby enabling the inflow of external air into the metal tube and reducing the internal temperature of the metal tube, thereby preventing a decrease in transmission capacity caused by a rise in temperature of the submarine cable.
