  • Abstract
    Use of the regnerative cycle at hydroelectric plants with available pondage will increase the firm peak capacity of electric power systems having both steam and hydroelectric stations. Principles underlying this method as well as empirical results from laboratory and field tests are given in this article, including an analysis of factors limiting its field of application. This supplements the article “Economic Aspects of Water Power” published in the December 1932 issue of ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, p. 846–52.
