This document addresses the design and implementation of submarine cable systems used in offshore wind farms, focusing on array and export cables. It provides best practices and guidance for high-voltage submarine cables in the U.S. context, aligning with federal regulations, and highlights the importance of early geotechnical assessments and careful planning to prevent costly delays and failures. The document also emphasizes the increasing challenges posed by larger wind farms and the need for accurate data to inform cable design and installation.
