Introduction

• CTC Global is an ACCC conductor
  manufacturing company that was founded to
  develop, certify and deploy advanced technologies
  to improve the efficiency, capacity, reliability
  and resiliency of the electric power grid.
• Our primary product is high-capacity, low-sag
  CTC Global ACCC Conductor solutions.

• As the worlds population and demand for
  affordable, reliable and clean energy continues
  to grow, the opportunity and importance of
  developing transformational financing of a low
  carbon energy future has become quite clear to
  CTC Global.
• On a more granular level, however, the importance
  of insuring efficiency in delivering clean energy
  is less clear and quite often overlooked.

CTC Global Efficient Power Grid for a Low Carbon
Energy Future

• A company based in Southern California, CTC
  Global Corporation, is doing something about
  this. In 2005, CTC Global introduced a new bare
  overhead conductor type known as ACCC that is not
  only capable of delivering twice the power of a
  conventional conductor, it also does so with a
  fraction of the electrical losses of conventional
  wires. 
• CTC Globals ACCC conductors ability to double
  the capacity of existing corridors can not only
  mitigate grid congestion (effectively reducing
  the cost of delivered power), it can also enable
  newly developed sources of clean energy to be
  connected to the improved grid and deliver power
  to a growing customer base.
• Line loss reductions provided by CTC Globals
  ACCC conductor not only serve to reduce fuel
  consumption and associated emissions, they also
  free up generation capacity that is otherwise
  wasted.

In the early 1900s 

• Most new power lines were made with copper wires.
  The demand for copper during WWII curtailed the
  use of copper so aluminum was used as an
  alternative. Aluminum is a good conductor, but
  relatively weak, so aluminum wires were
  reinforced with a steel core strands to
  accommodate longer spans on larger power
  corridors.
• As conductors carry increased levels of
  electrical current the electrical resistance of
  the wires causes them to heat up. Their
  relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion
  allows the wires to expand and sag. Sag is often
  the primary cause of electrical power outages
  which is quite dangerous and horrifically
  expensive.

What CTC global did to mitigate thermal sag

• CTC Global developed a hybrid carbon fiber core
  that offers a very low coefficient of thermal
  expansion. CTC Globals composite ACCC core is
  also twice as strong as steel and about 70
  percent lighter. These factors help minimize
  project costs and environmental impact on new
  lines.
• Because the composite core is so much lighter
  than steel, it also allows the use of higher
  quality aluminum and a 28 percent added quantity
  without a weight or diameter penalty. This not
  only serves to carry added current it also
  reduces line losses by 25 to 40 percent or more.

Conclusion

• Further, the development of transmission and
  distribution assets generally offer excellent
  return for investors, dont need to be
  subsidized, and offer desperately needed
  solutions not only to help reduce anthropomorphic
  impacts on climate change, but also substantially
  help underdeveloped nations grow their economies.
• Without access to affordable and reliable energy,
  no country can fully realize its potential. We
  need electricity to pump water to grow crops,
  support waste treatment and water purification
  facilities and generally compete in a global
  economy. CTC Globals ACCC conductor can help
  substantially.
