Four years' operating experience on a high-tension transmission line

The Pennsylvania Water and Power Company, since it started operation of its hydroelectric plant at Holtwood, Pennsylvania, has kept a careful record of all operating events. In the following paper this record is given for the four years 1911–1914, as far as the high-tension transmission line, Holtwood to Baltimore, is concerned. The record deals essentially with certain observations made on lightning flash-overs, deterioration of insulators, sleet on cables, and the various means adopted to prevent disturbances to operation from these causes.

The Combined Operation of Steam and Hydraulic Power in the Pennsylvania Water and Power Company System

The paper relates the experience of a large hydroelectric development on an erratic river, in endeavoring to accomplish most effective combined steam and hydroelectric operation, indicating that a river may be developed to an extent many times its low water flow where there is extended cooperation between customer and power company in determining, by experimenting, the economy of further supply of hydroelectric power. A plea is made for drawing up power contracts in a fashion to encourage effective combined operation of hydro-electric plant with customer's existing steam equipment.
