Electrical or Power Cables are essentially submarine power cables. Such a cable is a major transmission cable for carrying electric power below the surface of the water. The purpose of submarine power cables is the transport of electric current at high voltage. The electric core is a concentric assembly of inner conductor, electric insulation and protective layers. Modern three-core cables (e.g. for the connection of offshore wind turbines) often carry optical fibers for data transmission or temperature measurement, in addition to the electrical conductors. | |||

Power Cables is a static data layer. They are point-by-point lines that you can draw in, edit or remove when making a plan. | |||
Electrical Cables create the following pressures on the ecosystem: | |||

Based on the electrical cables data combined from the sources mentioned above and the data regarding wind farms in operation, a model for the renewable energy scenario in 2016 was created. Only the cables that would be needed to bring the energy from the wind farms to shore are taken into account in the plafform as energy cables. Some geometries might have been simplified for optimization of the platform's performance. | |||
