Increasing output of generating equipment

At the request of the AIEE standards committee that the technical committees prepare wartime guides to help the electrical industry find ways and means of getting more out of what it has, two subcommittees of the AIEE committee on power generation have made surveys of what has been done by manufacturers and operating companies to increase the output of generating equipment and systems. This article outlines the results of the work of these two subcommittees; it comprises the “Summary” of the complete report.† Like other guides in this series, this report is intended to be educational and in no way mandatory. At the end of the war emergency, these guides will be reconsidered, and either approved, revised for normal use, or rescinded.
