Excerpt from Large Electric Power Stations: Their Design and Construction, With Examples of Existing Stations
IN recent years the installation and extension of power stations for the supply of electrical energy has progressed very rapidly, and has left little time to those engaged in this class of work to study in detail problems presented by questions of economy in capital outlay and production. It has, on the other hand, become more and more essential to scrutinise very closely the process of transformation of energy from coal to electricity, with the object of reducing fuel consumption and lowering the price at which the electrical energy can be supplied to''consumers.
