The increase in demand for power is the subject seemingly anywhere that involves the gathering of energy and utility company executives as well as regulators. How to meet that huge load growth in the face of already existing affordability challenges is a big topic of conversation.
Technology increasingly is cited to meet the challenges of growth in demand. One of the answers is found in advanced conductors for overhead transmission powerlines. Composite core technology used in advanced conductors is proven to improve efficiency, capacity, reliability, and resiliency of electric power grids worldwide.
A leader in this technology is CTC Global CEO J.D. Sitton, a driving force behind the successful implementation of advanced conductors with what is known as the ACCC® Conductor. He sat down with Public Utilities Fortnightly Executive Editor Steve Mitnick to explain the advantages found in that solution.
