Mp. Bhavaraju, ADVANCED GENERATING TECHNOLOGIES - MOTIVATION AND SELECTION PROCESS IN ELECTRIC UTILITIES, Proceedings of the IEEE, 81(3), 1993, pp. 480-485
Electric utilities are constantly seeking advanced methods for generat
ing electricity to meet the future demand. The primary motivation for
the development of advanced technologies is to generate electricity wi
th minimum damage to the environment and with resources that are abund
