Youwind calculated foundation weight does it include Transition Pieces?
Yes, Youwind calculated foundation weight includes the foundation and the transition pieces’ weight. Youwind also calculates the mooring length and cost depending on the bathymetry and type of floater.
How is the length of the export cable calculated?
We assume an extra 5% for a single cable length of the distance from the onshore substation to the centre of the park. Considering the capacity of the export cable, then we multiply the single cable length for the number of needed cables depending on the park capacity.
