Composite Technology Announces Orders for ACCC ConductorsNew ACCC Conductor Order for Regional and State Grid Projects in China
The order is valued at approximately $1.729 million and is composed of 230 kilometers of ACCC core and associated hardware. The core will be stranded by Far East in China under terms of the established Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement. Far East has worked very hard to spread the use of ACCC conductor in China and has established an excellent reputation as a supplier to the State Grid. "We are very happy to see the continuing expansion of the use of ACCC conductor in China. The adoption of ACCC conductor is growing globally and we now have thousands of kilometers of conductor in operation, with years of operating experience. We believe these numbers will continue to grow as more power grids embrace the efficiency that ACCC conductor provides," stated Marv Sepe, COO of CTC and President of CTC Cable. About Jiangsu New Far East Cable Corporation: Jiangsu New Far East Cable Corporation and its subsidiary, Far East Composite Technology Company, are located in Yixing City, Jiangsu, China. Jiangsu New Far East is one of China's leading manufacturers of electrical transmission and distribution cable, which it sells to China's regional power grids through 200 local distributors. About CTC: Composite Technology Corporation, based in Irvine, California, USA, develops, manufactures and sells innovative high performance electrical transmission and renewable energy generation wind turbines through its subsidiaries:
-- CTC Cable Corporation produces composite rod for use in its patented
ACCC* (Aluminum Conductor Composite Core) conductors, which are "high
efficiency conductors" for use in electrical transmission grid systems.
ACCC conductors demonstrate less electricity line losses when compared with
conventional conductors and when deployed in place of conventional
conductors on existing systems, the higher efficiency of ACCC conductors
enables power generators to reduce the amount of power they must generate
while still delivering the same power to the customers. They have also
demonstrated significant savings in upgrade capital costs and operating
expenses when substituted in grid systems for other conductors. ACCC
conductors enable grid operators to reduce blackouts and brownouts,
providing a 'reserve electrical capacity' by operating at higher
temperatures without significant thermal sag of the lines. ACCC conductors
are an innovative economical solution for reconductoring power lines,
constructing new lines and crossing large spans. ACCC composite core is
delivered to qualified conductor manufacturers worldwide for local ACCC
conductor production and resale into local markets.
-- DeWind Inc. designs, produces, and sells the DeWind series of wind
energy turbines, including the new 2 megawatt (MW) D8.2 model available in
both 60Hz and 50Hz; the 2MW D8 model in 50Hz; and the 1.25MW D6 model in
50Hz. The new D8.2 has been operating since early 2007 at Cuxhaven,
Germany, and utilizes the advanced WinDrive® hydrodynamic torque
converter developed by Voith AG in combination with a synchronous AC
generator with high voltage output that is connected directly to the grid
without the use of power conversion electronics. The first 60Hz D8.2 is now
operating at Sweetwater, Texas, where it will initially be used for
demonstration to North American customers. DeWind D8.2 turbines are now
being assembled at TECO Westinghouse Motor Co., in Texas for our North and
South American customers.
