Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind energy cables, and particularly relates to a wind energy cable with anti-torsion performance. Background Art

[0002] Wind energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, has received extensive attention and application globally. As the main form of wind energy utilization, the stability and reliability of wind power generation systems play a crucial role in the continuity of energy supply and environmental protection. In wind power generation systems, cables, as key components connecting wind turbines to the power grid, directly affect the operating efficiency and safety of the entire system in terms of their performance.

[0003] However, despite the significant progress made in wind power generation technology, there are still some obvious defects and deficiencies in existing wind energy cables.

[0004] Firstly, in terms of material selection, traditional wind energy cables are mostly made of cross-linked polyethylene or ethylene propylene rubber insulation and various elastomer sheaths. Although the above materials have excellent electrical properties and material price advantages, their resistance to climate, abrasion, high and low temperatures, UV, torsion, and aging is relatively weak in complex and changeable wind environments. Since wind resources are abundant in the north of China, wind farms are usually located in remote areas in the northwest, with harsh environmental conditions, strong winds, a lot of dust, and large temperature fluctuations. These factors will cause varying degrees of damage to the cables, leading to cable aging, breakage, and even safety accidents.

[0005] Secondly, the anti-torsion performance of traditional wind energy cables is weak. Wind turbines rotate and sway frequently during operation, which poses high requirements for the anti-torsion performance of cables. However, existing cables often struggle to withstand this frequent torsion and are prone to problems such as fracture and breakage. This not only affects the normal operation of the wind power system but also increases maintenance costs and reduces the economic benefits of the system. Summary of the Utility Model
