Abstract :
A meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, under the auspices of the Boston Section, and with the coöperation of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, will be held in Boston on Friday evening, February 17, 1911. Mr. R. A. Philip, of the Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation will present a paper on certain phases of the general subject of economic limitations to aggregation of power systems. This paper is intended to elaborate on the suggestion contained in the paper on “Smoke Abatement in New England”, read by Mr. D., T. Randall before the joint meeting in Boston on November 10, that control of the smoke nuisance could be brought about only by the centralization of coal burning plants in large units and the elimination of miscellaneous coal burners.
