The Development and Implementation of a Generation Program on the American Gas and Electric Company System: 3—200,000 Kw, 2000 Psi, 1050 F/1050 F—An Advance in the Economics of Integrated Power-System Generation

This paper discusses the steam-electric generating units being installed at two new plants of the American Gas and Electric Company System, Kanawha River Plant of Appalachian Electric Power Company, and Muskingum River Plant of The Ohio Power Company. Reasons for the selection of unusually large single boiler-single turbine sets are presented in terms of the over-all generating requirements of the AG&E System. Basic considerations in the selection of component equipment for these units are developed, as well as the means by which these components have been combined to accomplish a very economical arrangement for mass generation of power for the System.
