Project Experience Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Demonstrator Project Talisman Energy (UK) Ltd and Scottish and Southern Energy, partners in the Beatrice windfarm, awarded JDR a contract to design, manufacture and test two composite inter-array subsea power cables. JDR’s cable package was required to control two jacket platform based wind turbines, linking them to the Talisman operated Beatrice oil platform. The Beatrice project, for a ‘distant’ deepwater offshore windfarm, was initially conceived in 2001. The demonstrator project comprises two 5MW wind turbine generating units, located 25km from shore on the seabed, linked to the Beatrice AP oil platform by a subsea cable. The energy generated by the turbines is used to power the Beatrice AP platform. The project is planned to run for fiv
