Abstract
A FULL description of the hydro-electric power scheme at Krangede, Sweden, which has been in operation for six months, is given in the A sea Journal of May and June, published by the Asea Company of Vasteras. Krangede is situated in about lat. 63° N. at the site of a natural fall on the lower part of the Indalsalven, an important river in the Jamtland district of Sweden draining a large area containing many lakes and extending back to the Norwegian borders. The link with the power station lies well up in 'Norrland', and in the south consists of a high-voltage feeder carried direct down to a main substation at Horndal in South Dalecarlia. It is thus within convenient range of Stockholm and is in touch with the large supply networks of central and southern Sweden.
