Engineering Energy Alumium conductor composite core(ACCC) and its application

Aluminium Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) of carbon fibre is characterised by its light weight, high tensile strength, large current-carrying capacity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, small linear expansion coefficient which make the ACCC of carbon fibre the most promising new conductor species. With the development of the technology and the reasonable reduction on the product price, the ACCC of carbon fiber can play an important role in the power grid construction and upgrading.

The concept of ACCC power transmission lines is rapidly gaining the required traction in the highly conservative power transmission industry, and Engineering Energy Alumium conductor composite core(ACCC) and its application focuses on the whole process of ACCC industry including production, testing, manufacturing, maintenance and operation. While discussing the current state of ACCC wires, the publication stresses chapters dealing with long-term electrical and structural performance of ACCC wires, revaluation/redesign of ancillary components and research work aimed at generating data for the revision of standard test methods and applicable codes of practice.

Containing a large number of practical engineering application examples and problems found in practical operation and maintenance this reference provides theoretical and practical support for the production and application of the ACCC for those in electrical engineering, aluminum conductors and overhead transmission lines.

• Contains global application examples in both research and development products
• Offers a Technical guide to apply the standardization for operation and maintenance for those practicing in ACCC
• Provides chapter summaries for every chapter to surmise all aspects of production, testing, manufacturing, maintenance and operation
