Design a self-contained 5,000 kilowatt power plant for a New York Harbor factory and learn how its running costs compare to buying power.

A detailed engineering study outlines how to design an isolated plant to meet a steady 5,000 kW peak load, with power supplied as 3-phase, 2,200-volt, 60-cycle AC. The work weighs operating times, local city rules, and the economics of generation versus purchase, using New York City conditions to ground cost estimates.

The analysis covers unit sizing, boiler choices, condensers, feed pumps, and switchgear, all aimed at reliable operation and space efficiency. It includes the estimation approach for building and equipment costs, and how to balance capital outlay with annual operating expense.

What you’ll learn
How engineers decide on the number and size of boilers and turbines for a 5,000 kW plant
How fuel, wages, building costs, and maintenance feed into total annual cost
How to compare the cost of power produced on site with the cost of purchased electricity
How local regulations and practical constraints shape plant design

Ideal for readers of practical engineering economics and power-plant design, this edition shows the step-by-step thinking behind sizing, costing, and operation planning.
