Abstract :
Following its previously adopted custom, the A.I.E.E. committee on power generation presents in this report a survey of developments in the generation of electric power during the past 2 years. General trends in steam plant practice have been toward higher pressures and temperatures; trends in power plant design have been toward simplification, rehabilitation, and increased economy of operation. In the hydro-electric field an increasing application of the propeller type turbine in low head plants has been noted, with some indication that in the future the regenerative cycle may have a wider application in the United States than it has had in the past.
