Back in the day copper was extensively used as conductors for transmission lines. However, as the demand of industries continued to grow, the experts started looking for efficient solutions and in came the use of Aluminium Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) conductors.
At Dutco Tennant LLC, we supply a range of electrical transmission products including the ACCC conductor from eminent brand, CTC Global. To showcase the world the exceptional capacity of this product, the brand will be featuring it at this year’s Middle East Energy 2022 event which will commence from 7th March 2022 at the Dubai World Trade Center.
The three-day event is back after a hiatus and is focusing on bringing together the international energy community. CTC Global is a proud participant that will be exhibiting its product ACCC Conductors. From live demonstrating to interesting insights, a lot will be covered at the exhibit.
Keep reading till the end to learn more about ACCC Conductor and what benefits it has got to offer.
Importance of ACCC Conductor
Believe it or not but today’s world economy is greatly reliant upon the establishment of a trusted and efficient grid system. To reach this prime goal, utilities around the world consistently make efforts to leverage modern, advanced and highly efficient technologies such as the ACCC Conductors.
The ACCC Conductors are important in setting up a reliable and efficient power grid system because it enables for delivering cleaner energy and contributes in increasing the efficiency and power of transmission lines.
The traditional conductors are typically extremely heavy for the modern structures. To resolve this issue, ACCC conductors are used as they are lightweight with the same diameter that fits perfectly to the existing structure.
This benefits in saving money and time as you don’t have to invest on rebuilding the structures. Also, other conductors such as traditional ACSR conductors may have capacity constraints forcing for upgrade.
But that’s not the case with ACCC conductors as they are enabled to deliver increased capacity and reduction in line losses. When the electricity moves from the power generators to the consumers, it is common for some electricity to get wasted. However, in this scenario as well, these conductors perform well as they deliver with lower resistance.
How CTC Global ACCC Conductor is Making a Difference?
CTC Global started its journey of developing the patente ACCC® Conductor in the year 2002. The primary objective that drove them toward creating this innovation is the rising demands of consumers around the world and most importantly to develop a conductor that can be used for the application in existing transmission corridors without the need of making any structural modifications.
This objective was based upon incorporation of materials science and highly evolved aerospace technology to manufacture new and improved lighter weight and higher strength core that could include added conductive aluminum without encountering any diameter or weight penalty.
After years of extensive research and development, testing and trial installation, CTC Global were able to come up with their highly efficient and low carbon emission ACCC Conductors. To date, the eminent brand has deployed this product in more than 1000 project sites worldwide.
The core of ACCC conductors of CTC Global was developed utilizing aerospace grade glass fibers and carbon along with a high performance and high temperature resin system. The high strength and lowered weight enables the conductor to combine 30 percent more aluminum and contributes to the conductors in effectively reducing conductor resistance.
This also enables the ACCC conductors to lower the line losses by 25 percent to 40 percent or even more if they are compared to any other type of conductors having the same diameter and weight, based upon the load level.
Additionally, the CTC Global’s ACCC Conductors showcase least thermal sag in comparison to other conductor types, they also operate in cooler running conditions and therefore, making a major contribution in grid reliability.
Moreover, the glass fiber and carbon hybrid core is proven to exhibit resistance to load fatigue cycles, higher impact and corrosion. Therefore, reducing the lifecycle cost by a lot. Even when the initial cost is slightly higher, the enhanced longevity and performance compensates for the cost.
What to Expect from CTC Global at the Middle East Energy 2022 event?
Dutco Tennant LLC is excited to be participating in this year’s MEE 2022 event along with its prominent partner CTC Global. The innovative brand will be live with its ACCC Conductor demonstration.
Attendees get the chance of catching them live at their exhibit where they can learn more about the capacity of this incredible transmission line solution. Plenty of insights and queries shall be resolved by the brand’s professional representatives.
If you are interested to know more about ACCC Conductors then make sure to make a stop at CTC Global’s exhibit at the Middle East Energy 2022 event starting from 7th March ’22 to 9th March ’22.
