Book excerpt: Steam power plants play a vital role in electric power generation. The efficacy of electrical power generation has been improved in the last few years as a result of process optimization. These days a total efficiency of approx. 45% can be reached. Therefore the steam power cycle plays a significant role in engineering education. Steam turbines are used to transform the pressure energy of high pressure steam to kinetic and later electrical energy in power plants and certain types of engines. Whereas steam turbines might be one of the more revolutionary inventions in the power generation and conversion industry. High performance steam turbines of today are specialized in their design and incorporate many efficiency increasing technologies. Steam turbine maintenance is of high importance to keep the steam turbines efficiency high and to conform to safety standards to avoid any unforeseen dangers. The steam turbine operates under high steam pressures, and has a number of moving parts that move at extremely high velocities. Steam Turbines for Modern Power Plants presents an in-depth treatment on steam turbine design optimization, exploration and measurement, development of blades, and other significant essentials, as well as turbine retrofitting and steam turbines for renewable power plants. It considers the newest approaches of the latest decade in design, operation, and refurbishment of steam turbines for fossil-fuel power plants. This book will be of interest to advanced graduate engineers and steam turbine engineers as well as researchers dealing with steam turbine design.

Download or read book Clean and Efficient Coal fired Power Plants written by Heinz Termuehlen and published by American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the evolution toward advanced coal-fired power plants. Advanced power plants with an efficiency level of 45% are today commercially available and even more efficient plants are in their development phase. Considering that presently many pulverized coal-fired power plants operate with an efficiency of about 32%, an improvement of more than 40% specific coal consumption and CO2 discharge can be achieved. Before trying to apply as a secondary measure the use of carbon sequestration, it seems that this 40% specific CO2 discharge reduction as a primary measure can much easier be achieved. The effect of power generation on the environment can be drastically improved by the use of flue gas cleanup systems in advanced pulverized coal-fired power plants (SO2 emission reduction from 40 to 1.4 lb/MWh and NOx emission reduction from 7.5 to 0.64 lb/MWh). With an increased number of coal-fired plants, CO2 discharge and emissions can be reduced, even with an increase of electric power generation in the US by 38% over the next 20 years. Even though the book concentrates on pulverized coal-fired power plants, it also discusses and compares other options like fluidized-bed combustion and coal gasification.
