Assessment of Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields Generated from Subsea Power Cables used in Offshore Wind Farms

There has been a continuous interest of environmental impact of offshore wind farms. The present paper deals with simplified evaluation of electric and magnetic fields from undersea power cables used in offshore wind farms operating in extremely low frequency (ELF) range using analytical approaches based on standard quasi-static approximations. Possible effects to living beings in marine environment are also addressed. The obtained results are checked against relevant international guidelines and related exposure limits.
