Abstract
Abstract The paper discusses the fundamentals considered in the development of an optimum power supply for the American Gas and Electric Company System. The recent rapid growth in electric-power demand on this system has required the construction of five new generating plants in less than seven years; emphasis in this paper is on the two most recent additions, Kanawha River Plant of Appalachian Electric Power Company and Muskingum River Plant of The Ohio Power Company. The paper describes the American Gas and Electric Company System, a review of the plant sites and the reasons for selecting these sites, as well as considerations involved in selecting equipment of very large unit size, all of which have been projected in terms of mass production of electric power, with strong emphasis placed on plant location, transmission, and fuel supply to provide a reliable system power supply at the lowest possible cost.
