Alcoa Inc.(AA) the largest U.S. aluminum producer, signed a memorandum with JSC Holding Inter-regional Distribution Grid Companies (JSC Holding IDGC), OJSC RUSNANO to set up a joint venture to develop and produce nano-coatings.
The new JV project will manufacture anti-icing nano-coatings for use in ground wires, cables and other parts of power transmission lines. In addition, the JV will produce advanced cables and wires with enhanced anti-icing and conductivity features for JSC Holding IDGC.
RUSNANO and Alcoa will be responsible for installing a pilot manufacturing line for nano-coatings application. As a part of the project, JSC Holding IDGC will support R&D, testing and new product certification.
The major issue faced by power engineers in Russia is the icing and breakage of power transmission lines because of bad weather conditions. This problem is expected to be fixed through the development of nano-coatings and production of advanced cables.
