AI Technical Summary
Existing marine photovoltaic cables are easily damaged during towing and have insufficient resistance to electromagnetic interference.
A mesh braided layer is set between the outer sheath and the inner sheath of the photovoltaic cable. It is made of aramid yarn and metal wire braided in warp and weft. The aramid yarn is parallel to the cable axis, and the metal wire is parallel to the cable circumferential direction, which enhances the cable's tensile strength and electromagnetic interference resistance.
It improves the tensile strength of photovoltaic cables, making them easier to drag, while also enhancing their resistance to electromagnetic interference and protecting them from damage.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a photovoltaic cable, and more particularly to a photovoltaic cable for offshore wind power systems. Background Technology
[0002] Offshore photovoltaic (PV) power plants are a new type of PV power plant that utilizes floating structures to support photovoltaic modules. Currently, many countries, such as Singapore and Japan, have floating array projects with ample water resources. The advantages of offshore PV power plants are that they do not occupy land area and can fully utilize sea surface; the sea surface cools and reflects PV modules, and the radiation from the sea surface is not affected by topography, resulting in higher power generation than ground-based power plants; the location of offshore power plants is less dusty, easier to clean, and avoids problems caused by shading from weeds and other vegetation. However, existing PV cables are prone to damage when towed. Summary of the Invention

This photovoltaic cable for offshore wind power systems not only improves the tensile strength of the cable and facilitates cable dragging, but also helps to improve the cable's anti-electromagnetic interference performance.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a photovoltaic cable for offshore wind power systems, comprising a copper conductor formed by twisting several copper wires together, the surface of which is covered with an insulation layer, an inner sheath layer covering the outer surface of the insulation layer, and an outer sheath layer covering the outer surface of the inner sheath layer.
[0005] A mesh braided layer is provided between the outer sheath layer and the inner sheath layer. This mesh braided layer is made of several aramid filaments and several metal wires woven together in warp and weft. The length direction of the aramid filaments is parallel to the cable axis, and the several aramid filaments are equally spaced along the circumference of the cable. The length direction of the metal wires is the circumference direction of the cable, and the several metal wires are equally spaced along the cable axis.
[0006] The above technical solution is further improved as follows:
[0007] 1. In the above scheme, the metal wire is a copper wire or an aluminum wire.
[0008] 2. In the above scheme, the thickness of the outer sheath layer is greater than the thickness of the inner sheath layer.
[0009] 3. In the above scheme, the thickness of the inner sheath layer is 2 to 3 times the thickness of the insulation layer.
[0010] 4. In the above scheme, a wrapping tape is wound around the outer surface of the copper conductor.
[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
