Short summary
Designing inter-array cable networks is a key challenge in wind farm development. This work proposes a methodology that combines graph-based routing with mixed-integer optimisation to determine cable routes and conductor sizes while accounting for spatial constraints and electrical limits. Two strategies are investigated: an integrated optimisation and a sequential approach. The method is tested on routes from existing offshore and onshore wind farms.
