Samuel Insull's management at the Chicago Edison Company is the most well-known example of how electricity can be appropriated to make profits via load management.…”

More than other energy industries, the electric power industry relied on calculating practices and codifications like load management to handle and develop their technical systems. Scholars have approached these practices largely from the point of view of the history of electricity. While it is true that these practices facilitated the expansion of the industry, this paper argues that electrical systems and the calculations around them were also used to "decipher" the new relations between power, economic change, and society that were emerging in the first decades of the 20th century. This paper asks how electricity took on the form of a mode of representation of economic life. Starting from the control of currents in early electrical systems via the calculation of voltage, current, and resistance, the paper shows how load management developed, and how the calculations around the large, interconnected power systems of the early 20th century were used as information on the "power economy." In the medium of the power economy, engineers, economists, and politicians imagined the relation between the national and the world economy, between technical progress and the nascent macroeconomic object of "the economy." Based on an analysis of the contributions to the World Power Conferences, the paper distinguishes two ways in which calculations around electricity became relevant for economic policy in the interwar years: as an

More than other energy industries, the electric power industry relied on calculating practices and codifications like load management to handle and develop their technical systems. Scholars have approached these practices largely from the point of view of the history of electricity rather than the broader history of energy. While it is true that these practices facilitated the expansion of the industry, this paper argues that electrical systems and the calculations around them were also used to ‘decipher’ the new relations between power, economic change, and society emerging in the first decades of the twentieth century. This paper asks how electricity took on the form of a mode of representation of economic life. Starting from the control of currents in early electrical systems via the calculation of voltage, current, and resistance, the paper shows how load management developed, and how the calculations around the large, interconnected power systems of the early twentieth century were used as information on the ‘power economy’. In the medium of the power economy, engineers, economists, and politicians imagine the relation between the national and the world economy, between technical progress and the nascent macroeconomic object of ‘the economy’. The paper distinguishes two ways in which calculations around electricity become relevant for economic policy: as an indicator of economic growth and as the ground for a new economy.

“…The generator in unit No. 3 is a Y-connection synchronous generator type WX21Z-092LLT, manufactured by ABB Power Generation Ltd. Its rated power, voltage, and power factor are 160 MVA, 15 kV, and 0.85, respectively [16]. This generator is represented by the SM59 model in the EMTP-ATP program [12], with input data shown in Table 4.…”

“…The step-down 15/6.6 kV transformer is used only for internal purposes as mentioned earlier. Both transformers are represented by the SATTRAFO model in the EMTP-ATP program with input data shown in Table 5 [18,19], where R P and L P are the resistance and inductance in the primary winding, respectively. R S and L S are the resistance and inductance in the secondary winding, respectively.…”

In this paper, a study of the lightning phenomenon and its harmful effect on Aqaba Thermal Power Station (ATPS), located in the south-western border of Jordan, is presented using the Electromagnetic Transients Program -Alternative Transients Program (EMTP-ATP). This study has been arisen due to an installation need of appropriate lightning arresters (LAs) for the 15/410 kV step-up transformers of the ATPS to eliminate the destructive effect of lightning. The simulation is carried out for two cases, once without using LAs and once more with using them. Two scenarios are applied for each of these cases, once when lightning strikes the primary side of the transformer and once more when it strikes the secondary side. The results obtained by the simulation indicate the necessity of LAs installation. This study, with using the EMTP-ATP program, is done for the first time with additional details that help researchers, designers, and engineers to get a broad overview of the ATPS in order to protect it against lightning.
