Abstract: In recent years, the global offshore wind power has developed rapidly. As nearshore resources become increasingly scarce, offshore wind power has gradually moved to the deeper sea. To accommodate the dynamic characteristics of floating wind turbines, floating platforms must be supported by dynamic cables. This is a comprehensive cable of transmitting electricity and control signals, with constantly changing position and force status, which can withstand the combined effect of wind, wave, current and other natural environment, to ensure the effective transmission of power and monitoring signals. Compared with foreign industries, Chinas dynamic cable industry started later, with the harsh working conditions and the lack of relevant technology. All these factors restrict the progress of the dynamic cable industry. This paper will provide a detailed introduction to the basic principles, current development status, key technologies, and challenges faced by floating wind turbine dynamic cables, summarizing the latest industry information and technology to support the development of Chinas dynamic cable industry.

Key words: floating wind turbine, dynamic cables, development status, key technology
