Scope: This standard specifies the design requirements, manufacturing requirements, testing requirements, installation requirements, etc. for bending limiters of submarine cables in offshore wind farms. This standard applies to the design, manufacture, testing, and installation of bending limiters for offshore wind farms. Bending limiters used in submarine cables and umbilical cables for offshore oil and gas field development can also be used as a reference. Main technical content: The design of bending limiters for offshore wind farms includes three parts: general requirements, design basis, and design requirements. Among them: - The general requirements section is a brief summary of the design needs and requirements for bending limiters; - The design basis section is mainly used to guide the proposal of design requirements for bending limiters and the preparation of design input documents; - The design requirements section is mainly used to stipulate the supplier's considerations for loads, criteria, structural design, and service life during design, and also stipulates the design documents that should be prepared.
