Orient Cable (NBO) has installed the subsea cable for China Three Gorges (CTG) Corporation’s 16 MW floating wind demonstration platform, said to be the world’s largest single-unit floating wind turbine.

NBO says this is the first 66 kV dynamic cable for floating wind installed in China. The company’s scope encompassed the design, supply and installation of the dynamic cable, which has been engineered to withstand extreme wave heights of over 20 metres and support 25 years of service in severe marine environments, according to NBO.
