THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO POWER GENERATION–FULLY REVISEDUpdated throughout to cover the latest technologies and applications, Power Generation Handbook, Second Edition, focuses on the basics of power generation using gas turbine, steam, wind, solar, co-generation, and combined-cycle power plants. Other essential topics such as calculations, efficient plant design, emission limits, monitoring, and the economics of power generation are discussed in detail. A real-world case study illustrates the material presented in this authoritative resource.Coverage includes:
- All components and subsystems of the various types of gas turbine, steam power, co-generation, combined-cycle, wind turbine, solar power, and generator plants
- Advantages, applications, performance, and economics of low-emission, high-efficiency power plants
- Selection, operation, and maintenance of gas turbines, steam turbines, valves, compressors, governing systems, combustors, de-aerators, feedwater heaters, transformers, generators, wind turbines and generators, and solar power stations
- Monitoring and control of all power station environmental emissions
- Power station performance monitoring and performance enhancement options
