ACCC® News

Since January 1st of this year, 31 ACCC® Conductor Projects have been
completed, 59 are currently active and 63 additional ACCC®
Conductor installations are scheduled to start within the next few
months, in addition to over 900 completed.

Why? Because the ACCC® Conductor offers the ability to improve the
efficiency, capacity, reliability and resilience of the electric power grid,
worldwide, while saving time, money and the environment.

ACCC® Conductor is Ideally Suited for Greenfield Projects

Designed initially to decrease thermal sag and increase line
capacity, which offers obvious benefits on reconductoring
projects, the ACCC® Conductor is now being used for greenfield
projects, worldwide.

The benefits of ACCC® Conductor have been put to use on several
‘New Line’ projects. The ACCC® Conductor’s greater strength and
reduced thermal sag has enabled further spans between fewer
and/or shorter structures (in some cases with smaller
foundations), to reduce overall project costs and construction
timeframes. The ACCC Conductor’s higher capacity also allows the
use of smaller conductor sizes which can further reduce upfront
capital costs.

ACCC® Conductor Installation

A good example of a New ACCC® Installation was the Pengerang
Project in Johor, Malaysia. In this case, Trenergy selected the ACCC®
Conductor as a 275 kV tie line for the new Petronas Generation
plant in Kota Tinggi. The terrain was very marshy and included
several saltwater crossings.

The ACCC® Conductor’s superior performance helped reduce
upfront capital and maintenance costs and offered added capacity
for future plant expansion. To learn more about several “new”
ACCC® Installations, please check out CTC Global’s BLOG POSTS.

Cubico Upgrades Solem II Solar PV Tie Line with ACCC®
Conductor

Located in the State of Aguascalientes, Central Mexico, the Cubico Alten Solar PV facility is growing from
290 to 540 MW. To enable the added capacity to connect with CFE’s grid, Cubico replaced the existing 795
kcmil Drake size ACSR conductor with 812 kcmil Grosbeak size ACCC® Conductor. ACSS conductor was also
considered but it did not meet the ampacity and sag requirements.
With the support of Segal, Viakon, CTC Global and CFE, compliance with the Mexican Federal Electricity
Agency, Centro Nacional de Control de Energía (CENACE) was achieved.
CTC Global’s Master Installers Sergio Rojas and Ismael Dones provided installation support and PLP Mexico
personnel offered hardware installation training.
