SECTIOir II,<br />
Size <strong>of</strong> the Generator,<br />
The fiirst problem inihleh presents itself in the design <strong>of</strong><br />
any power plant - is the determination <strong>of</strong> the Size <strong>of</strong> the Generator,<br />
This prohlem is solved first by detailed analysis <strong>of</strong> the amount <strong>of</strong><br />
power which the plant will be called upon to furnish. The result thus<br />
obtained should then be checked against the results which have been<br />
obtained in past experience with similar installations. If the two<br />
differ - then there must be some peculiarity about the installation<br />
under investigation, and this peculiarity should be isolated and given<br />
special attention in order to ascertain irtiether or not proper weight is<br />
being given to its influence.<br />
The size <strong>of</strong> the plant in the case at hand was estimated<br />
by making assumptions <strong>of</strong> the loads required by the different classes<br />
<strong>of</strong> service at the time <strong>of</strong> the peak loadi; as given in the following<br />
