The Trenton channel plant of the Detroit Edison Company

This plant is the second to be built by this Company well outside the corporate limits of Detroit, the two being connected by a 120-kv. tower line arranged for supplying suburban areas and the outer part of the city. The plant has a planned ultimate capacity of 800,000 kw. It contains both d-c. and a-c. house service, turbine-driven units and nearly all important variable speed auxiliaries are driven by d-c. motors. Coal is used in pulverized form, the paper giving the conclusions which led to its adoption.
