Overview of ACCC Conductor

• ACCC conductors were commercially deployed in
  2005. The CTC Global ACCC conductor utilizes a
  high-strength, light-weight composite core to
  replace conventional steel core wires in
  conventional bare overhead conductors.
• CTC Global ACCC conductor has already helped over
  200 utilities at over 675 project sites in over
  50 countries improve the efficiency, capacity,
  reliability and resiliency of the grid.

Conductor Efficiency

• Improving the efficiency of generators to reduce
  fuel consumption and/or helps improve the
  economic viability of competing generation
  technologies such as solar and wind.
• As industry experts and policy makers begin to
  recognizing the impact climate change is having
  on transmission and distribution assets and the
  environment, more consideration is being given to
  improving efficiency even further.

Conductor Capacity

• CTC Globals ACCC conductor was developed to
  increase capacity and carry twice the current of
  conventional all-aluminum and steel reinforced
  conductors.
• The capacity advantages CTC Global ACCC offers
  over the alternatives is based on CTC Globals
  patented composite core which has a coefficient
  of thermal expansion about 90 lower than steel
  core strands.
• CTC Globals high-capacity ACCC conductor
  mitigates thermal sag, this makes it an
  outstanding choice for increasing the capacity of
  existing transmission and sub-transmission lines
  without the need to replace or reinforce existing
  structures.

Conductor Reliability

• The CTC Globals ACCC conductor offers a new
  level of performance and unprecedented
  reliability
• The ACCC conductors hybrid carbon fiber core is
  not only resistant to harsh environmental
  conditions and corrosion, it also resists cyclic
  load fatigue.
• The ability of CTC Globals ACCC conductor to
  carry twice the current (or more) compared to
  conventional steel reinforced conductors is well
  suited to improving grid reliability especially
  during periods of high electrical demand and
  during weather event conditions.

Conductor Resiliency

• CTC Globals ACCC conductor has a proven track
  record of not only resisting damage from severe
  weather conditions, but also surviving when wood
  and metal structures were burned down or knocked
  to the ground.
• CTC Globals ACCC conductor has demonstrated
  itself time and time again to resist damage and
  improve grid resiliency.

Reducing Emissions

• CTC Globals high-capacity, high-efficiency ACCC
  conductors offers one of the most cost-effective
  means of reducing fuel consumption and associated
  emissions, while also increasing grid capacity to
  support the deployment of more clean renewable
  energy.
• The use of ACCC can reduce GHG emissions and fuel
  / operating costs for natural gas, oil and
  coal-fired generation units.
• The use of ACCC can enable the efficient delivery
  of more electricity to accommodate growing fleets
  of electric cars and space heaters.
