Loads
on
Power
Plants
The load required by the consumer does not remain constant with respect to time (hour, day or month) and, it fluctuates according to his requirements. The problem of variable load is vital one because each kilowatt hour energy is to be put on the transmission line at as low production cost as possible.
The
cost
of
generation
and
transmission,
is
not
only
dependent
on
the
improved
operating
conditions,
such
as
turbine
and
generators.
Operating
at
their
best
efficiency
or
uniform,
rate
of
driving
the
boilers,
but
depends
upon
the
first
cost
of
equipment
which
can
be
reduced
by
using
simplified
control
and
eliminating
the
various
auxiliaries
and
regulating
devices
