Electricity and industrial productivity: A technical and economic perspective

Philip S. Schmidt

Energy, 1987, vol. 12, issue 10, 1111-1120

Abstract: Factors favoring the use of electricity as an energy source for production are considered and the economic implications of these factors are discussed. Several examples are presented illustrating particular aspects of the electricity-productivity relationship, including arc-furnace steel making, induction heating for forging, and microwave drying in the pasta industry. Other electrotechnologies that may significantly influence overall productivity in industry are cited.
