TenneT Netherlands Selects ACCC AZR Conductor
in Netherlands

• Several months ago, CTC Global introduced
  the ACCC AZR Conductor which uses an aluminum
  zirconium alloy to augment overall conductor
  strength and modulus to help fight extreme ice
  and wind loads. TenneT Netherlands selected ACCC
  AZR for the new products initial deployment in
  Europe, for their reconductor project in the
  Netherlands.

• TenneT faced a particular challenge when
  upgrading the double circuit line between
  Groningen and Delfzijl. The total route length of
  28.2 km over flat terrain covering 89 towers is
  subject to high wind and potentially extreme ice
  loads.
• TenneT selected ACCC Warsaw size ACCC AZR
  Conductor manufactured by Midal Cables which
  satisfied their capacity increase requirements
  from 760 amps to 1323 amps. An additional 2.1 km
  spur line tying in the Stadskanal substation also
  upgraded from 500 amps to 777 amps at the same
  time.
• This design adds significant capability and
  cost-effectiveness to CTC Globals proven ULS
  (Ultra-Low-Sag) core variants already deployed in
  Northern Europe, particularly for areas where
  high wind and ice loads can be expected stated
  Dr. Eric Bosze, CTC Globals Director of
  Conductor Materials Research.

ETESA Completes 2nd 230 kV ACCC Conductor
Installation in Panama

• With the support of EPC firm Elecnor
  Group, ETESA completed the installation of 85.23
  circuit kilometers of 714 kcmil Dove size ACCC
  Conductor to replace forty-six year old 750 kcmil
  ACAR conductor on their Mata de Nance to Veladero
  line near David City, Panama.

• The project included a 38 kilometer section of
  suspension towers with no dead-end structures,
  requiring a strategic stringing plan provided by
  CTC Globals Master Installers, Sergio Rojas and
  Ismael Dones. Replacing the ACAR conductor with
  ACCC Conductor allowed ETESA to increase
  line capacity from 230 MVA to 480 MVA.
• ACCC Conductor provided for the project was
  produced by Viakon. The average span length was
  350 meters, but greater in some areas where the
  conductor traversed river and mountain crossings.
  Forjasul provided hardware and Tesmec tensioners
  were used.

National Grid Corporation Completes ACCC
Conductor Upgrade in Vietnam

• Earlier this month, National Grid Corporation
  (NGC) Vietnam completed their 110 kV Viet Tri
  Bai Bang line upgrade (ACCC Conductor Upgrade) to
  increase line capacity.
• NGC selected 725 kcmil (367.4 mm2) Amsterdam
  size ACCC Conductor to replace existing 240/32
  ACSR conductor so they could reuse their existing
  steel lattice structures without modification.
