PORTUNUS SOLUTIONS CABLE CALCULATOR
We often get questions about the industry's exposure to cable failures. To address this, we have created the Portunus Cable Calculator. Publicly available data and studies feeds into this tool, to quantify the theoretical exposure to cable failure that currently exists in the industry.
This is the first version (v.1) and we aim to enhance this tool on an ongoing basis.
Instructions
The calculator is populated with default numbers from our sources, feel free to manipulate any of the data fields to match the specifications of your current or projected fixed bottom offshore wind park.

As a reminder, we are of the view that ~90% of cable failures as reported by ORE Catapult are caused by cyclic fatigue and ultimately failure.
