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 ACCC
(aluminum conductor composite core) conductors, which are “high efficiency
conductors” for use in electrical transmission grid systems. ACCC conductors
demonstrate less electricity line losses when compared with conventional
conductors. When deployed in place of conventional conductors on existing
systems, the higher efficiency of ACCC conductors enable power generators to
reduce the amount of power they must generate while still delivering the same
power to the customers. They have also demonstrated significant savings in
upgrade capital costs and operating expenses when substituted for other
conductors. ACCC conductors enable grid operators to reduce blackouts and
brownouts, providing a ‘reserve electrical capacity’ by operating at higher
temperatures without significant thermal sag of the lines. ACCC conductors are
an innovative economical solution for reconductoring power lines, constructing
new lines and crossing large spans. ACCC composite rod is delivered to qualified
conductor manufacturers worldwide for local ACCC conductor production and resale
into local markets.
 

·  
DeWind Inc., designs, produces, and sells the DeWind series of wind energy
turbines including the new D8.2 model rated at 2 megawatts (MW) available in
both 50Hz and 60Hz; the D8 model rated at 2 MW available in 50Hz; and the D6
model rated at 1.25 MW available in 50Hz. The new D8.2, which has been operating
since early 2007 at Cuxhaven, Germany, utilizes the advanced WinDrive®
hydrodynamic torque converter developed by Voith AG with a synchronous AC
generator that is able to connect directly to the grid at high voltage without
the use of power conversion electronics. During the 3rd quarter of 2007, a 60Hz
version will be installed at a site in the USA for certification. In late 2007,
the first D8.2 turbines are to be assembled at TECO Westinghouse Motor Company
in Texas, which will supply turbines for our North and South American customers.
