Summary:
Title: Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) Conductor
Description:
Join the IEEE PES/IAS Denver chapter during our May technical meeting. Our guest speaker this month is Jack Beathard from Lamifil North America.
Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) conductor is able to to carry approximately twice as much current as a traditional aluminum-conductor steel-reinforced conductor (ACSR) of the same size and weight, making it popular for retrofitting an existing electric power transmission line without needing to change the existing towers and insulators. Utilities are also using ACCC to increase efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions on high ampacity transmission applications. In this presentation we will look to cover ACCC industry trends, the rise of state level conductor efficiency standards, and how we see the utility industry implementing this technology into the power grid.
