About CTC:

Composite Technology Corporation, based in Irvine, California, USA, develops, manufactures and sells innovative high performance electrical transmission and renewable energy generation products through its subsidiaries:

CTC Cable Corporation produces composite rod for use in its patented high efficiency ACCC* conductors, used in electrical transmission grids. ACCCT conductors have less line loss compared to similar diameter conventional conductors and therefore enable power generators to reduce the amount of generation while still delivering the same power to customers. Our conductors have demonstrated significant savings in upgrade capital costs as well as operating expenses when substituted in grid systems. ACCCT conductors enable grid operators to reduce blackouts and brownouts by providing reserve electrical capacity, since they can be operated at higher temperatures without significant thermal line sag. ACCCT conductors are an economical solution for reconductoring power lines, constructing new lines and crossing large spans. ACCCT core is produced by CTC Cable and delivered to licensed qualified conductor manufacturers worldwide for ACCCT 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 in both 60Hz and 50Hz, the 2MW D8 model in 50Hz, and the 1.25MW D6 model in 50Hz. The D8.2 turbine uses a WinDrive® hydrodynamic torque converter, by Voith AG, in combination with a synchronous high voltage generator that is synchronized directly to the grid without the use of power conversion electronics. DeWind D8.2 turbines are assembled at TECO Westinghouse Motor Co., in Texas.
