You need to design a power cable to connect an energystorage facility located at the ocean shore to a wind turbine farm \(2 \mathrm{~km}\) offshore (Figure P32.82). The farm can deliver energy at an average rate of \(45 \mathrm{MW}\), and you need to run a single cable to deliver energy at this rate (the turbines and the storage facility share a common ground). The cable has a resistance \(R\), leading to a loss of energy during transmission. Assume that all other loads on the circuit (electrical appliances in all the buildings serviced by this facility) have no capacitive or inductive reactance. Using different transformers at either end, you can change the value of \(\mathscr{E}_{\text {max }}\) and \(I\) while maintaining the same rate at which electrical energy is delivered to the cable. Should you choose a high or a low value for \(\mathscr{E}_{\text {max }}\) ?
