Popis: As the transition to renewable energy accelerates, interest in wind farms is heightening. There is a need to safely and economically transport energy produced from Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) to the shore. Consequently, this study conducted an analysis of inter-array cabling methods between two FOWTs in shallow waters, targeting the southwestern sea of South Korea. This research targeted four shapes of dynamic power cables: free hanging catenary, lazy wave shape, suspended and W-configuration type. To verify the economy of the dynamic power cable, the total lengths were compared, and to check safety, curvature and tension were examined. Insights obtained through this study indicate that among the four shapes of dynamic power cables, the lazy wave shape has substantial advantages in shallow waters.
