Abstract
Methods for transferring electrical power in the sea include: generating AC power; and guiding, at least partially underwater, the AC power through a cable from a first end of the cable to a second end of the cable. A first reactor is connected near the first end of the cable and a second reactor is connected near the second end of the cable. Inductances of the first reactor and the second reactor are selected to at least partially compensate for reactive power generated in the cable.
