Excerpt from Electric Power StationsThe production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy on a large scale in an adequate and economical manner is an engineering task of the first magnitude. Each system has its specific details and problems the solutions of which depend largely upon local conditions, but there are certain fundamental engineering and economic principles that apply to all systems.Different men may have charge of the several activities of a power organization, depending upon the size of the system, but the executive head of the utility must be a man with funda mental knowledge of all the engineering and economic aspects of the operations in order that he may make decisions intelligently.' In the power plant, engineers must deal with problems of design and construction of buildings, the installation and opera tion of machines and equipment, the records of operation and the internal organization and Operation of the plant for efficiently utilizing every dollar invested.The transmission of the energy involves a whole mass of engineering work in construction, Operation and organization. And in the distribution and sale of the energy a still more com plex engineering and economic problem is encountered. Beyond all these elements lies the realm of human relationships and the obligations inherent in public utility operations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
