Abstract
The file archived on the institutional repository is the poster. Please consult the paper on IEEE Explore for the full text.With the development of offshore wind power, long-distance cable transmission is required to transmit fluctuating power. A Capacitive Transfer System (CTS) cable was proposed to decrease the line reactance to increase the transmission capability by the designed dielectric layers between strands and special connection of the strands. Because of the dielectric layers between strands, the paths of eddy currents between strands are blocked. In addition, the dielectric layers between strands work as a long capacitor to cancel the line inductive reactance. The geometry design of CTS IV L model is demonstrated in COMSOL. Finally, a set of laboratory tests are carried out to verify the reactive power compensation.Innovate UK project from 1st Oct 2017 to 31st March 201
