Written by a power industry expert, Power Generation Handbook helps you to gain a thorough understanding of all components, calculations, and subsystems of the various types of gas turbines, steam power plants, cogeneration, and combined cycle plants.
Each of the components, such as compressors, gas and steam turbines, heat recovery steam generators, condensers, lubricating systems, transformers, and generators are covered in detail. The selection considerations, operation, maintenance and economics of cogeneration plants and combined cycles as well as emission limits, monitoring and governing systems will also be covered thoroughly.
- Covers the latest in instrumentation and control systems for power generating equipment.
- Examines gas turbines, stream power plants, cogeneration and combined cycle plants (includes valuable calculations).
- Provides operation and maintenance tips and troubleshooting methods.
