Download or read book Modern Turbine Practice and Water Power Plants Classic Reprint written by John Wolf Thurso and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Turbine Practice and Water-Power Plants The present European practice has only been evolved during the last ten years and is yet in a transition state, so that changes and improvements are continually being made. The American standard type of turbines has not been shown in the illustrations, as every hydraulic-power engineer is sufficiently familiar with it through the engineering press and the turbine catalogs. On account of the growing importance of the steam-turbine and its close relation to the hydraulic turbine, the writer has included a chapter on this subject. . In the second part of this book will be found information and data about matters connected with turbine plants. These were either taken from the writer's personal experience or collected from recent volumes of the American and European engineering press. Of course there are instances where the refinement in turbine design and construction here recommended does not pay, being either unnecessary or impracticable. For example, the backwoods sawmill, moving with the pioneer settler into newly opened territory, will do best with the roughest kind of a turbine plant. The opinion of engineers in regard to many statements made in this book may vary- from that of the writer, and no hard and fast rules can be laid down for water-power developments, as every case demands a careful and intelligent judgment, requiring greater experience on the part of the planning engineer than most other classes of construction work. At the end of this book will be found Mr. Allan V. Garrett's paper on speed regulation of turbines, and the writer begs to thank here Mr. Garrett and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers for their kind permission to reprint this paper.

Book excerpt: Hydropower provides a complete discussion of the most up-to-date considerations of this method of creating renewable energy. After introducing the method’s history, the author explores various considerations for engineers, planners and managers who need to determine the best placement and size of a plant. The book then presents various types of hydropower systems, such as Run-of-River Schemes and various types of Dam and Turbines, also considering the important economic, environmental and geological impacts of each. Those involved in the planning, design and management of hydropower systems, such as engineers, researchers, managers and policymakers will find this book a very valuable and insightful resource. Explores different types of dams and turbines set alongside easy-to-understand diagrams, such as Embankment Dams, Concrete Arch Dams, Reaction Turbines and Francis Turbines Considers various economic and environmental factors significant for this type of project, such as resettlement, biodiversity and greenhouse gases Discusses best practices for locating a hydropower site and how to make important decisions regarding placement and method

Download or read book Turbines Generators and Associated Plant written by D.J. Littler and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of new 500 MW and 660 MW turbine generator plant in nuclear, coal- and oil-fired power stations has been partly responsible for the increase in generating capacity of the CEGB over the last 30 years. This volume provides a detailed account of experience gained in the development, design, manufacture, operation and testing of large turbine-generators in the last 20 years. With the advance in analytical and computational techniques, the application of this experience to future design and operation of large turbine-generator plant will be of great value to engineers in the industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Power Station Practice, Volume 3: Mechanical (Turbines and Auxiliary Equipment) focuses on the development of turbines and auxiliary equipment used in power stations in Great Britain. Topics covered include thermodynamics and steam turbine theory; turbine auxiliary systems such as lubrication systems, feed water heating systems, and the condenser and cooling water plants. Miscellaneous station services, and pipework in power plants are also described. This book is comprised of five chapters and begins with an overview of thermodynamics and steam turbine theory, paying particular attention to types of turbines, construction of steam turbine cylinders and rotors, and gas and hydraulic turbines. The following chapters look at turbine auxiliary systems such as glands and sealing systems, lubrication systems, governors and governing gear; feed water heating systems, feed heater arrangement, and regenerative cycle calculations; and design and construction of condensers. The final chapter is devoted to miscellaneous station services and pipework in power plants and discusses water services, compressed air services, heating and ventilation, and miscellaneous cranes and lifting tackle. This volume will be of interest to power station engineers.
Download or read book Power Generation Technologies written by Paul Breeze and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-02-04 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes intelligible the wide range of electricity generating technologies available today, as well as some closely allied technologies such as energy storage. The book opens by setting the many power generation technologies in the context of global energy consumption, the development of the electricity generation industry and the economics involved in this sector. A series of chapters are each devoted to assessing the environmental and economic impact of a single technology, including conventional technologies, nuclear and renewable (such as solar, wind and hydropower). The technologies are presented in an easily digestible form.Different power generation technologies have different greenhouse gas emissions and the link between greenhouse gases and global warming is a highly topical environmental and political issue. With developed nations worldwide looking to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide, it is becoming increasingly important to explore the effectiveness of a mix of energy generation technologies.Power Generation Technologies gives a clear, unbiased review and comparison of the different types of power generation technologies available. In the light of the Kyoto protocol and OSPAR updates, Power Generation Technologies will provide an invaluable reference text for power generation planners, facility managers, consultants, policy makers and economists, as well as students and lecturers of related Engineering courses. · Provides a unique comparison of a wide range of power generation technologies - conventional, nuclear and renewable· Describes the workings and environmental impact of each technology· Evaluates the economic viability of each different power generation system
