Another attribute of R&M’s processes that benefits renewable energy operators is the company’s single-source-supply principle. “The wind farm solution, for example, ranges from control cabling in the individual power plant gondola through outdoor cabling to the connection of the antennas, IoT devices, security systems, operator offices, and data centers or in the cloud,” R&M explains—adding that its on-site support service is an important element of the single-source-supply principle. These support services “range from planning, installing, and commissioning the data and communications networks to user training, quality assurance, and other after-sales services,” R&M adds.
“The cabling products for renewable energy production have passed the tests in existing applications,” R&M concludes, noting that it “uses them in projects in the telecommunications industry—for example, in aerial and underground cabling. The operating environmental conditions there are similar. R&M also has experience in ship cabling, which is as demanding as the network equipment of offshore wind power plants. The DNV certification demonstrates that the R&M cabling products are permanently resistant to moisture, salt air, and vibrations at sea.”
