ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IN
HOLLAND
As a result of fuel shortage during the war the use of electricity in Hol land has received a very considerable stimulus. in Amsterdam, for "in- stance, it appears that, of 140,000 houses, no less than 110.000 are now provided with electric light, whereas, before the war. only 30.000 were con- nected. This large increase is ac counted for by the fact that neither gas nor candles were available, so that the inhabitants could obtain no other form of light, and this led the Cor- poration to decide that every house should be provided with at least one electric lamp: the remaining houses are being connected at the rate of 500
of
month. Electricity is largely used for domestic purposes other than light- ing. as well as for industrial work. A new power station is now in opera- tion on the north side of the River Ÿ„„, and is already being extended. Three- phase current generated at a pres- sure of 10,000 volts by means steam turbines and water-tube boilers: some.pl the steam required is sup plied by a refuse destructor. Similar developments are taking place through- out the whole of Holland. and in this development the State, the provincial governments...the municipalities...and the communal authorities are all assist- ing. Considerable progress has al ready been made towards the co- ordination of the various supply sys- tems, the work beir largely facili- tated by the fact that the frequency is already standardised at 50 cycles. The supply stations have been, or are being, interconnected to facilitate generation by large units in suitable situations. Distribution is effected, usually, by overhead wires, for which. purpose the supply authorities posTEST compulsory wayleave powers. This enables the needs pl rural districts to be catered for, as well as those of towns and industrial areas, and con- siderably facilitates the use of elec tricity in agriculture. The installa- tion of electric pumps to replace the
numeroes windmills used for land drainage is now becoming general and will soon cffect a notable change in the appearance of the Dutch lands- capc. These, at all events, are the impressions gained by a deputation representing the Institution of Elec trical Engineers, who recently visited
Holland at the invitation of the So ciety of Directors of Electricity Works in the Netherlands. The deputation points out that the rapid developments above referred to will call for con- siderable extensions of generating -plant-and-distribution systems, and, as the development of electrical manu facturing industries in Holland is pro ceeding at a less rapid rate, an ex- cellent opening exists for. British manufacturers to extend their business with Holland. Except in the matter of cables, British electrical goods have not been largely used in Holland, the generating plant and motor equipment having been generally supplied by German or Swiss manufacturers. We trust that a determined effort will be made to remedy this state of affairs- in the near future.Engineering.
