Work to manufacture and lay the East Micronesia Cable (EMC) is officially underway. The EMC Management Committee members have signed the undersea cable contract with NEC Corporation following a competitive tender.
The undersea cable contract is a key component of the estimated AUD135 million ($95 million USD) EMC project, funded by Australia, Japan, and the United States. The project will deliver an undersea cable connecting the state of Kosrae in the Federated State of Micronesia, Tarawa in Kiribati, and Nauru to the existing HANTRU-1 cable landing point located in Pohnpei, FSM.

Next steps involve final survey and design of the route and manufacturing of the cable, which will be no wider than a garden hose. Once built, the cable will be laid across the ocean floor and connected to landing infrastructure that will also be constructed in each country.
Typically three cables comprise one circuit. Prior to April 2018, ATC operated a double circuit, 138-kV volt line, (six energized high-voltage cables) that ran across the lakebed of the Straits of Mackinac. Three of the cables were destroyed by an anchor strike in April 2018. Within weeks of the incident, the undamaged cables were reconfigured to create a single circuit.

In February 2019 we've received more snow where I live than in any February in the last 100 years. I've only been venturing out occasionally, but the upside of all that snow is it motivates me to do things inside, like this DIY 600V Duelund DCA12GA power cable project!
Before I get started telling you about how I built this super easy DIY power cable project, let me provide you a sober safety warning that if you do it wrong you could electrocute yourself in one of those zap-thud moments, or even worse, fry your audio gear! So please, please, be careful!
First I cut three 2.5 meter lengths of the 600V Duelund DCA12GA tinned-copper cable to use for the live, neutral and earth cables. I color-coded both ends of the conductors with some Peavey microphone tape so I could keep track of which was the live (red), neutral (black), and earth (green).
I put my new DIY 600V Duelund DCA12GA power cable into the system on my SPEC RSA-M3 EX Real Sound Amplifier in place of the ridiculously good reference Acoustic Revive Absolute Power Cable ($12,000 USD) that I've been using on the SPEC.
To be clear, I'm not saying the DCA12GA power cable sounds as good as the $12K USD Absolute Power Cable, as I haven't done any comparative listening yet, but I can tell you that what I'm hearing from the 600V Duelund DCA12GA power cable is extremely good, and my take on its performance is similar in nature to what I've heard from the Duelund-Altec Project's Duelund CAST tinned-copper crossovers.
The DCA12GA power cable has that same tinned-copper magic of relaxed transparency, vivid imaging presence, superlative dynamics, and overall superb musicality. I'm really loving what I'm hearing from the 600V Duelund DCA12GA power cable, and I suspect you will too.
I'll continue to provide you listening impressions as I get more familiar with what the 600V Duelund DCA12GA power cable can do musically and sonically, but even at this early point in listening, I can tell you it's an easy recommendation.
In short, Chris said they would be glad to help out: "Price is the cost of the wire (3 x whatever length you want the cable to be) + a $60 assembly fee + the connectors chosen. For example, a 2 meter 600V Duelund DCA12GA cord would be ... $60 in wire + $38 for the 2 Marinco Plugs + $60 in labour ... = $158 total ... + $14.95 overnight shipping."
So for those of you who would like to give a 600V Duelund DCA12GA power cable a try, but don't want to build it yourself, it'll cost you the price of materials plus a $60 USD assembly fee, and of course shipping to get it to your door.
For example, I can drill a hole large enough to fit the head of the micro-usb cable through it, but since the head is wider than the actual cable, if you tug of the cable it'll pull the esp8266 again the side of the box and eventually the cable will unplug and fall out of the box.
The project is located in Region 4, in Morgan County. Project work includes the installation of high-tension cable barrier TL-3 and concrete mow strip, along with ABC Class 6 (Special) on I-76 between Mile points 72.0 and 91.1. All work is in the interstate median.
Sun Cable shot back onto the agenda after a consortium between billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes and infrastructure investor Quinbrook struck an agreement to buy the project company, which had been in voluntary administration since early this year.
Administrator FTI Consulting said the Cannon-Brookes-backed buyer plans to progress the Australia-Asia power link to final investment decision, with stage 1 of the project delivering 1.8GW to Singapore and 900MW to Darwin, Australia.
The Trans Bay Cable is a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) underwater transmission cable interconnection between San Francisco, California and Pittsburg, California.[1] The 53 mi (85 km) cable under San Francisco Bay and through the Carquinez Strait can transmit 400 megawatts of power at a DC voltage of 200 kV, enough to provide 40% of San Francisco's peak power needs.[2]
The line connects PG&E's Potrero Substation (formerly the switchyard for Potrero Generating Station) to its 230 kV transmission line in Pittsburg. The system was completed in November 2010.[2] The Trans Bay Cable project was the first HVDC system to use the Modular Multi-Level Converter (MMC) system.[3][4]
Following the prolonged outage, the utility (Pacific Gas and Electric), the City and County of San Francisco, and the California Public Utilities Commission formed the San Francisco Stakeholder Study Group (SFSSG) to determine immediate transmission solutions to ensure electric reliability, which led to the upgrading of PG&E transmission lines and towers paralleling Interstate 280 under the Jefferson-Martin transmission line project to diversify the path.[7] After the Jefferson-Martin project was complete, PG&E decommissioned Hunters Point in 2006.[8]
Construction on the TBC officially began on December 15, 2007.[15] A joint venture between Siemens Energy and Prysmian Construction Services (formerly Pirelli Cable) were responsible for building the turnkey project;[16] the Siemens/Prysmian joint venture subcontracted electrical equipment installation to Cupertino Electric.[17] After B&B declared bankruptcy in 2009, the management of B&B partnered with John Hancock Life Insurance Company, creating SteelRiver Infrastructure Partners to complete the cable.[18]
The original design for the HVDC cable bundle included a 400 kV transmission line (approximately 4.5 in (114 mm) in diameter), a 12 kV metallic return (ground) cable (3.4 in (86 mm) diameter), and a fiber optic communication cable (1 inch (25 mm) diameter); the total bundle was 10 in (250 mm) in diameter.[29] With the adoption of HVDC Power Link Universal System (PLUS) technology, two cables of identical size were used instead for the transmission line, along with the fiber optic cable. Each cable is energized to 200 kV (one positive, one negative).[12][28] The HVDC converter for HVDC PLUS uses a half-bridge topology; the system is rated to carry up to 400 MW of electric power in a symmetrical monopole configuration.[30]
Prysmian Group manufactured the HVDC and terrestrial AC cables in its Arco Felice (Naples) factory and laid the submarine HVDC cable using its own ship, the Giulio Verne (IMO number: 8302014).[31][32]
The original route for the AC lines connecting the Pittsburg substation with the converter site (near the Delta Energy Center) were mainly underwater, running approximately north from the substation, east around the northern end of Browns Island, southeast along the slough between Browns and Winter islands, east to the southern tip of Winter Island, then south and back on land to the converter site.[34] However, the Pittsburg converter station later was moved to a site near West Tenth Street, just south of the existing PG&E substation,[35] reducing the AC interconnect lines to less than 1 mile (1.6 km) and shortening the HVDC cable bundle to 53 miles (85 km).[12] The San Francisco converter station is near the intersection of 23rd and Illinois, between Piers 70 and 80.[36][37]
The submarine HVDC cable is buried at a depth of 3 to 6 feet (0.91 to 1.83 m) below the floor of the Bay to protect it from anchor strikes. In certain locations, such as where the cable crosses existing utilities, it is unable to be buried, and flexible concrete mats were placed atop the cable for protection.[38]
Neptune was completed in June 2007, on budget and ahead of schedule, by the same PowerBridge team responsible for the Hudson Project, and which continues to oversee their operation. Since commencing operation, the Neptune system has exceeded expectations in terms of availability and the amount of power brought onto Long Island. The project includes two converter stations, an undersea cable buried underneath the Raritan River and the Atlantic Ocean, and a land-based underground cable that extends up the shoulder of the Wantagh Parkway on Long Island. Technology, equipment, and installation methodologies used for Neptune are similar to those used for the Hudson Transmission Project.
On June 21, the World Bank announced it would pump $268.4 million into the project. The funding will help fund the building of the main converter station and associated sub-stations on the Tunisian side, as well as support for the implementation of the interconnector, according to the World Bank. The international financing institution will also provide technical assistance to help establish a renewable energy Center of Excellence to position Tunisia as a training hub for renewable energy projects in North Africa.
The Electric Utility is working with a company called Novinium that will test and fill any cracks that have developed over time in the protective insulation of underground electrical cables. This injection process will extend the life of the cable for a minimum of 20 years and will help prevent future cable failures and power outages. It is a cost-effective measure in maintaining the reliability and longevity of the underground electrical system.
