Abstract
THE a-c electric power generation and distribution system of the Dow Chemical Company at Midland, Mich., may be of interest to power engineers for two reasons. First, it represents the experience of a plant wide a-c system that has grown from small beginnings in a period of 23 years and has encountered and solved the problems that go with rapid growth. Second, being a chemical plant, many special problems peculiar to the chemical industry were solved in the process, yielding techniques that may be of interest to others in the chemical and petroleum industry.
