XL-CFL – BAUR cable fault location for long submarine & underground cables
Indispensable and robust, but sadly not indestructible: Long land and submarine cables for global power supply
Due to the growing demand for power and increasing dependence on renewable energy – more and
more of which is being generated offshore – submarine power cables are becoming indispensable for a reliable energy supply. Among experts, submarine cables are classified as critical infrastructure. Why critical? Firstly due to the harsh environment in which they are installed. Secondly – and this is also the most common cause of faults – submarine cables are exposed to mechanical stress, such as currents, fishing, or heavy ships' anchors, at irregular intervals and at all water depths, which can result in significant damage.
