345kV AC Submarine Cables

345kV AC Submarine Cables

(OP)
Anyone ever seen these before? I've only seen up to 275kV systems. What I'm trying to figure out is how far could a 345kv submarine cable go without charging current being a problem. *Edit: The system size is 1200MW

RE: 345kV AC Submarine Cables

(OP)
Yes, just made contact at NKT which I believe took over ABB's cable business. That Bayonne project was the only 345kv project that I could find when I had done some previous searches, it doesn't seem like there is much of a market for cable manufactures to go after.

RE: 345kV AC Submarine Cables

Submarine ac cables have been installed for voltages up to 500 kV.
A 400 kV double circuit submarine cables link, 42 km long, 2 x 1000 MW, has been in service between Sicily and Italy for about 10 years. A total of 1032 Mvar of shunt reactors are installed for reactive power compensation.
A shorter link, about 5 km long, also at 400 kV, has been in service since 1985.
Three core 400 kV cables have also bene manufactured and installed in Scandinavia.
At 345 kV, it should be possible to attain about 90-100 km using single core cables.
