The Future

For the purpose of discussion the platform and the alignment must be regarded as two separate sites which might in the future prove to have been related. Taken together the metal objects from the two sites represent a remarkable collection, not only by their context and numbers but also by the range of metals represented. Whilst the majority of the objects are in copper alloy (almost certainly bronze) there are also objects in iron, a white metal (some definitely tin, others, lead) and a single gold object.

This paper describes the 300MW pumped storage governor system which is applied in Xiangshuijian power station and is featured with State-owned independent intellectual property rights from three aspects. Firstly, this paper describes the principle and configuration of the pumped storage governor system; secondly, it describes some features for the application of the system in Xiangshuijian power station and advanced control strategies thereof; and thirdly, it describes the implementation of some special features of application of the system in Xiangshuijian power station. Through this article, we hope for further exploration of the system in the industry and hope the application of the system can be further popularized in the design and implementation of localization governor system of large pumped storage power station in the future.

Abstract This article analyses the idiom of “placemaking” in contemporary development, specifically considering the Battersea Power Station development in south London. It argues that the recourse to a highly aestheticised concept of place allows development to mediate the structural transformations they are enacting and create a narrative and discourse about development that deflects and dissipates political critique. In order for public-private “regeneration” to proceed as the default mode of urbanisation for contemporary London, developers need to not only create sound investments but also produce a hegemonic cultural narrative that articulates the stakes of their interventions in ways that make them not just compelling but inarguable and inevitable. Three modes of conceptualising the redeveloped city are considered: the concept of place, the aesthetic of the garden and rhetoric of sustainability, and the ethos of creativity. Together, these constitute a vision for the future technological city that seeks to render political disagreement marginal if not unthinkable.
