Engineering Aspects of Interchange of Power With Industrial Plants: Establishment of Means and Facilities for Utilizing Massed Resources to Serve the Power Requirements of Individual Industries

Economical operation can be effected and overhead costs greatly reduced in a great many cases where public-utility or other steam-generating or hydro power plants find it possible to hook up with large industrial operations. The advent of high steam pressures has largely increased these possibilities and extended the engineering problems involved in their proper solution. The engineer must seek the maximum overall economy with minimum investment having regard for reliability of service, and then work out a plan for the undertaking that will be to the equal advantage of all parties at interest.
