Textbook in PDF format

Power Plant Equipment Operation and Maintenance Guide of different types of power plants, including the following: modern cogeneration, combined cycle,* and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC; plants that provides detailed coverage
burn coal, petroleum coke, orimulsion, biomass, and municipal waste).
This book provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of all the
equipment used in different type of power plants. It includes detailed coverage of the
sizing, selection considerations, calculations, operation, diagnostic testing, troubleshooting, maintenance, and refurbishment of all types of steam turbines, steam generators,
boilers, condensers, heat exchangers, gas turbines, compressors, pumps, advanced
sealing mechanisms, magnetic bearings, and advanced generators. All the systems and
methods used to maximize the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of this equipment
are covered in detail. All the preventive and predictive maintenance required for this
equipment, including vibration analysis and used oil analyses, are also covered
thoroughly. The book also provides guidelines and rules that must be followed to
minimize the failure rate and downtime of all power plant equipment.
This book includes an in-depth description of the economics of these power plants
and provides information that assists in the selection of the best available power
enhancement options such as duct burners, evaporative cooling, inlet-air chilling,
absorption chilling, steam and water injection, and peak firing.
Deregulation of the electricity markets is sweeping across the world, which is
increasing the necessity for highly efficient power generating plants, such as cogeneration, combined cycle, and IGCC. Changes in the market and the many advantages of these
types of power plants enhance their ability to compete and eventually replace older model plants.
It is anticipated that independent power producers and different utilities plan to
construct additional cogeneration, combined-cycle, and IGCC plants in the near future
due to their short construction lead time, low staffing requirements, as well as, low
capital investment, and operating and maintenance costs
