A detailed, non-fiction blueprint for a 15.5 MW generating plant and a 2 MW DC railway substation.
This thesis outlines the layout, equipment, and engineering decisions behind a large electric power station. It covers building design, ventilation, protection systems, and the arrangement of boilers, turbines, switchgear, and the DC substation to support railway power needs. Readers will see practical engineering choices aimed at efficiency, safety, and future expansion.
- How the plant is organized into boiler, turbine, and switch rooms with clear access for maintenance.
- The selection and placement of electrical equipment, including transformers, switches, and arresters, for reliable performance.
- Strategies for ventilation, heating, and structural safety to support heavy equipment.
- Design details for the DC railway substation and its integration with the main plant.
Ideal for readers of historical engineering studies or those interested in early 20th-century power plant design.
