FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE)’s shares dropped -1.42% to $31.15.
Final design and preliminary site work is underway for a new FirstEnergy Corp. (FE) substation near Smithfield, W.Va., to assist meet raised electrical usage in the area’s rapidly expanding Marcellus Shale gas industry. The project also is predictable to enhance service reliability for more than 6,000 Mon Power customers in Wetzel, Marion and Tyler counties.
The project is budgeted at about $63 million. The work comprises building a new, two-mile transmission line to connect the new substation with a midstream natural gas processing facility expanding its operations and using more electricity. The new line will parallel an existing transmission line.
Construction of the new substation and line is predictable to start in early 2016, with the project planned to be energized in late 2016.
In the interim, FirstEnergy has installed mobile equipment adjacent to the gas processing facility to accommodate the plant’s raised electrical load and assist support voltage levels until the new substation is operational.
FirstEnergy Corp., through its auxiliaries, generates, transmits, and distributes electricity in the United States. The company operates through Regulated Distribution, Regulated Transmission, and Competitive Energy Services segments.
At the end of Tuesday’s trade, Willbros Group Inc (NYSE:WG)‘s shares surged 25.27% to $2.33.

Avionics Interface Technologies (AIT) introduces its new Shared Memory Network (SMN) interface products, an optical, high-speed (2.125 Gbps), ring-based network that uses a replicated memory concept. SMN was developed for applications requiring real-time synchronization and control, such as hardware-in-the-loop simulations, test and measurement, industrial automation, and automotive systems simulations.
Typical networks contain protocol overhead that limits transfer speeds, especially for small data transfers such as 4, 8 or 16 bytes, which constitute the majority of network traffic. SMN has no protocol overhead. It was designed specifically to move small amounts of data efficiently, mimicking applications that write to local memory. The result is that data is moved over the network close to line rate speed, effectively decreasing communication time by 75%, reducing simulation time, and minimizing network size. This all of adds up to saving the end user a considerable amount of time and reducing their investment in network hardware.
Networks typically also lack a fast way to interrupt remote applications or move data right away upon events. SMN was designed to allow event-driven interrupts for prompting instantaneous actions as required in hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Time critical interrupts associated with these simulations benefit from immediate fault status and fault information that is sent simultaneously over the network. SMN is essential for networked safety critical applications, where an immediate notification is required in order to minimize the time that could cause system failures.
