About
Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult awarded a contract to Crondall Energy Consultants for a technoeconomic comparison of subsea versus floating substations.
The study defined floating and subsea systems for two case study sites, identified knowledge and technology gaps, and outlined a roadmap toward commercial readiness by 2025–2030.
It leveraged insights from prior projects on inter-array cable topology and mooring/cable installation, performed cost comparisons across UK project configurations under various assumptions and sensitivities, and investigated the impact of system reliability on lifetime costs.
The contract value was AUD 94,743.5.
