Upgrading wave energy test sites by including overplanting: a techno‐economic analysis

Dynamic rating is an approach which implies to operate electrical network closer its thermal limits. This may be very beneficial for wave farms, as they are expected present a highly fluctuating current profile while benefiting from the large inertia of soil where their export cable will buried. However, implementation this still in infancy offshore wind it that first under form small-scale test sites, sized with respect limits at stage. sizing upgraded second stage when design methods have included dynamic rating. raises question economic feasibility two-step approach, studied paper. Also, performing such techno-economic analysis requires developing electrothermal model able represent transient response sufficiently precise manner requiring also reasonable computing time. In perspective, comparative between several modelling described
