Abstract
New green energy sources deployed at sea in mobile
platforms use power cables in order to transport generated energy
at sea surface to the bottom. Theses power cables are exposed to
the dynamic behaviour of the platform movements due to waves,
currents and wind. OBSEA is a seafloor cabled observatory at 20
m depth in front of Vilanova, in Catalan coast. OBSEA captures
data in real time like current, waves and wind among others. In
this paper, a model of a moored power cable installed at OBSEA
is studied. The study is focused on the trajectory, tensions and
deformation or curvature of cables about 0.1 m diameter and
under real conditions collected from OBSEA sensors. Simulations
are done with OrcaFlex 9.3 software (license N1594). This
software allows to model underwater structures and cables.
