A proper protection system guarantees reliable and safe operation for a geothermal power plant. It is one of the most important factors during system engineering design and must be carefully selected to avoid equipment damage due to failures. The process design should include the selection of a protection scheme as well as adequate main and auxiliary equipment and installation considerations. A...

This paper offers new insights on a central question in trade and development economics: does increased exposure to foreign competition generate gains in plant productivity? We find that it does. We examine Colombian trade policy from 1977 to 1991, a period during which trade liberalization alternates with increased trade protection in varied ways across industries, to investigate the link betw...
