Since 1988, London Underground has been committed to a number of significant business change programmes. The guiding principle adopted for these programmes has been the need to shape the company specifically to meet the needs of the fare-paying passenger. Following significant devolution and engineering reorganisation programmes in 1988 and 1989, London Underground introduced a company-wide comprehensive change programme in November 1991, which aimed to improve bottom line performance by about £180 million pa, to reduce the workforce from 21700 to 16000 and to improve the service delivered to passengers in terms of quantified and measurable criteria, which relate to the safety and quality of the transport product. The article traces the history of the change programmes and reports on progress for the six fiscal years from 1989/90 to 1994/95. The article also describes the movement of the Underground to a state of potential financial self-sufficiency, in which the Underground will generate sufficient funds from the business to meet an average annual capital renewals investment of about £300 million. - Author(s): T.

Electric power to supply the water electrolysers installed in the solar hydrogen facility at Neunburg vorm Wald, Germany, is generated in two photovoltaic (PV) power systems with a combined module power rating of 277 kWp. Since they were commissioned in January 1990, operation of the PV systems has been accompanied by a test programme. To date, both PV systems have fulfilled expectations with regard to utilisation factor and reliability. Based on these experiences six further developed PV systems were installed at the end of 1993/beginning of 1994. - Source: Power Engineering Journal, Volume 10, Issue 1, p. 27 –28

Following on from combined-cycle power plants, the emerging integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology shows great promise in burning oil refinery residues to generate low-cost and environmentally friendly electricity. Worldwide there could be (based on projected refinery capacities and residues for the year 2010) an estimated 135 GW of power available from burning oil refinery residues irrespective of quality. A typical IGCC plant configuration is described and the economic factors outlined. - Author(s): H. Khatib

This tutorial is concerned with project evaluation and feasibility. It systematically works through the issues involved, referring whenever possible to the real world of the electrical power industry. However, the analysis can equally apply to all major engineering projects. The author considers the evaluation of costs and benefits, financial and economic returns calculation, sensitivity analysis and risk analysis. - Source: Power Engineering Journal, Volume 10, Issue 1, p. 55 –56
