Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. is 遊雅堂 入金 エラー an experimental offshore floating wind farm project sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (below, the experimental project) together with the University of Tokyo and 10 corporations including Marubeni Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., IHI Marine United Inc., Shimizu Corporation, and Hitachi, Ltd.

Furukawa Electric is in charge of the power supply for the experimental project. We are building and testing a power supply system capable of securely delivering control signals and power generated at the offs遊雅堂 入金 エラーre floating wind farm to the s遊雅堂 入金 エラーre through submarine cables. Since the force of waves and tides cause floating wind farms to constantly pitch, the submarine cables are also required to track dynamic movement under severe conditions. We have developed an ultra-high pressure riser cable system(note 1) that mobilizes the dynamic cable technology nurtured at Furukawa Electric to contribute to realizing the world’s largest offs遊雅堂 入金 エラーre floating wind farm.
遊雅堂 入金 エラーe main points of development are:
- Development of highly durable 遊雅堂 入金 エラーser cables
We used behavior analysis technology based on movement data from 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe floating structure and conditions in 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe relevant area of 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe ocean to identify 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe ideal riser cable, and to develop a composite electro-optical ultra-high pressure riser cable wi遊雅堂 入金 エラー 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe same service life as 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe windmills and 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe floating structure. - Development of 遊雅堂 入金 エラーser cable connectors
Keeping economic efficiency in mind, we have developed subsidiary materials 遊雅堂 入金 エラーat support 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe connectors for 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe riser cable and 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe dynamic behavior of 遊雅堂 入金 エラーe cable. - Developm遊雅堂 入金 エラーt of optical communication systems suitable for large-scale wind farms
St遊雅堂 入金 エラーking a balance between economic efficiency and reliability, we are building and testing optimum optical communication systems for large-scale wind farms.

Riser cable : Refers to a permanently suspended submarine cable for connecting to a floating structure. Unlike typical submarine cables, a riser cable is directly affected by rough ocean conditions and so the construction and the materials require extremely high technical ca遊雅堂 入金 エラーbility.
