Economics in Plant Selection

Economics in Plant Selection: Economics in Plant Selection – The plant capacity and size depends upon the power demand. A power plant should be reliable i.e. its capacity must be more than the predicted maximum demand. It is desirable that the number of generating units should be two or more than two in order to
