Abstract

Yallourn 'E' is the first brown coal burning power station built in Victoria on the unitised system.
The paper deals, firstly, with the philosophy of the design and the major features of the plant specifications. It then descnbes the more important aspects of the plant which was installed as a result of these considerations.
Particular reference is made to the technological advance achieved, the significant reduction in cost of generation which has resulted, and the value of this plant as a prototype for the still larger units now under construction.
