Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This new edition of the handbook has been fully updated and expanded. It covers all major aspects of power plant design, operation, and maintenance. It includes not only an updating of the technology, which has taken great leaps forward in the last decade, but also introduces new subjects such as carbon sequestration technology, chemical treatment of water used in combined cycle power plants, and extended treatments on steam turbines and heat recovery steam generators. The book has many special features which include comparison of various energy systems, latest cycles and power augmentation and improved efficiency techniques.
Extract from the table of contents: an overview of power generation; cycles; performance and mechanical equipment standards; an overview of gas turbines, steam turbines, and pumps; heat recovery steam generators; condensers and cooling towers; generators, motors and switch gears; fuels, fuel piping and fuel storage; bearings, seals and lubrication systems; control systems and condition monitoring; performance testing of combined cycle power plant; maintenance techniques; combined cycle power plant problems.
