  • Floating electrical connection system for offshore energy devices
    Patent number: 10858075
    Abstract: A floating connector of an offshore energy device and a method for connecting the floating connector is provided. The floating connector includes a buoy having a tube, a bay, a joint box, and at least one cable for connecting to the offshore energy device. The buoy provides buoyancy to the floating connector and includes the tube and bay. The bay houses the joint box, which electrically couples the at least one cable to each other and to a switchgear of the offshore energy device.
    Type: Grant

  • Connection system for array cables of disconnectable offshore energy devices
    Patent number: 10421524
    Abstract: A floating connector of an offshore energy device and a method for connecting the floating connector is provided. The floating connector includes a buoy having a long spar like floater, where the buoy provides buoyancy to the floating connector. The floating connector further includes at least two cables for connecting to the offshore energy device. The floating connector also includes a joint box for coupling to the offshore energy device and for providing an electrical connection of the at least two cables to a switchgear of the offshore energy device. When the joint box is coupled to the offshore energy device, an electrical circuit with the at least two cables is completed through the offshore energy device via the switchgear.
