Summary Modern power stations burn large quantities of coal. Though great attention is paid to the reduction in the discharge of smoke and grit, the policy now is to allow all the sulphur dioxide produced to enter the atmosphere. At present the Central Electricity Generating Board does not consider that this is a hazard to health and is prepared to ...

Power Station for Art vs. Art for Power Station
Art Journal, 2001Like ants, visitors amble across a gigantic hall, cross under an iron insect, are carried up on escalators, move through halls and small rooms, and finally arrive at a glass-encased body, from which a grandiose vista offers itself.Tate Modern—London. A former power station on the south bank of the Thames, originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott,

Some of those aspects of the auxiliary services in large power stations on which decisions have to be taken at the planning stage are discussed. The effects on the planning of auxiliary services of recent changes in generation practice are noted. The aspects discussed include alternative means of providing auxiliary power, the economic justification ...

Electrical connections for power stations
Proceedings of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1906The division and arrangement of units and the system of electrical connections in a power station have much to do with the cost and successful operation of the plant. Conditions vary to an extent which prohibits the use of standard arrangements, but certain general principles are applicable to all layouts.

Thermal coal-fired power stations currently provide approximately 40% of the world's electricity and 30% of the world's generating capacity. Approximately 83% of all coal demand is thermal coal, and 61% of primary coal energy is consumed in power stations.

Central Station Power for Mines
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1913The paper is devoted chiefly to a historical sketch of the West Perm system in regard to its electrical service in connection with coal mines. The first mine installation was connected to the system in 1896 and previous to that time it had been found very difficult to convince the mine operators of the advisability of central station service, as they ...

The prime mover for bulk electricity generation worldwide is the turbine, coupled to a condenser and alternator. A working fluid is taken through a cycle of changes of temperature and pressure and through the prime mover to produce torque, which involves heat supply and rejection to the surrounding environment.

Power electrics at Trawsfynydd power station
Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1967The paper deals with the power aspect of the electrical design of Trawsfynydd nuclear power-station. It gives the reasons for the unusual system design, describes the problems encountered in choice of gas-circulator drive, and explains the reasoning behind the choice of the essential-supplies system.

Auxiliary Power for Eddystone Station
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Part III: Power Apparatus and Systems, 1958TWO 325,000-KW turbine-generator units operating at supercritical steam pressures are being installed in the new Eddystone Station of the Philadelphia Electric Company. The station is located southwest of the center of Philadelphia, near the city of Chester, Pa. The higher steam pressures involve greater auxiliary power requirements than usual, but the
