History of Power Production
Initially Power Plants were located near populations that required
the electricity - fuel was transported to plant.
• Since the 1870's power plants were designed to reject waste heat
to consumers (combined heat and power or district heating).
• As Efficiency of Scale and High-Voltage AC power distribution
technology evolved, it became more cost-effective to produce
power near the fuel source and "pump" the electricity to the
consumer.
• Some large-scale power generation stations still operate as CHP
using District Heating steam distribution:
• Consolidated Edison of New York operates NY steam system (largest).
