TS Conductor - Model AECC -Advanced Electric Conductor for Grid Modernization
The AECC, developed by TS Conductor, marks a significant advancement in electric conductor technology, perfectly tailored for grid modernization. This conductor integrates a robust carbon fiber core devoid of glass fibers, a seamless aluminum encapsulation, and high-conductivity trapezoidal aluminum strands. The unique design addresses traditional installation challenges by eliminating the need for specialized equipment and techniques, making it compatible with standard ACSR/ACSS practices. The pre-tensioned carbon core, encapsulated in aluminum, ensures environmental resilience by preventing moisture and oxygen infiltration, thus mitigating galvanic corrosion and oxidation. This design also supports standard bending radius requirements, maintaining durability even under compression stress. Notably, the AECC excels under extreme environmental conditions, offering robustness against factors like UV damage, aeolian vibration, and temperature-induced challenges. With a focus on resilience, the AECC effectively supports long-term utility infrastructure, making it a critical component in modernizing global power grids for stable, efficient, and safe electricity distribution.
TS Conductor delivers 2-3 times the capacity of traditional ACSR while eliminating the problems of first-generation advanced conductors at their source. It is the only advanced conductor that is fully compatible with standard installation and maintenance practices.
Problem.
First generation advanced conductors promise high performance but fall short on safety and reliability. They’ve been limited to niche applications by industry concerns including:
