Download or read book Performance Monitoring Guidelines for Power Plants written by American Society of Mechanical Engineers and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These guidelines cover fossil-fueled power plants, gas-turbine power plants operating in combined cycle, and a balance-of-plant portion including interface with the steam supply system of nuclear power plants. They include performance monitoring concepts, a description of various methods available, and means for evaluating particular applications. Since the original publication of these guidelines in 1993--then limited to steam power plants--the field of performance monitoring (PM) has gained considerable importance. The lifetime of plant equipment has been improved, while economic demands have increased to extend it even further by careful monitoring. The PM techniques themselves have also been transformed, largely by the emergence of electronic data acquisition as the dominant method of obtaining the necessary information."--ASME International website, viewed 18 October 2010.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report extends the application of on-line monitoring to equipment and process condition monitoring, encompassing an array of technologies including vibration monitoring, acoustic monitoring, loose parts monitoring, motor current signature analysis and noise diagnostics, as well as vibration analysis of the reactor core and the primary circuit. Furthermore, this report includes the application of modeling technologies for equipment and process condition monitoring. A majority of these technologies depend on existing data from existing sensors and first principles models to estimate equipment and process behavior using empirical and physical modeling techniques. In doing so, pattern recognition tools such as neural networks, fuzzy classification of data, multivariate state estimation and other means are used. These means are described in the report, and examples of their application and implementation are provided. The benefits of OLM for performance verification of process instruments were described in the first report and included such advantages as the ability to extend the calibration interval of pressure, level and flow transmitters, detection of blockages, voids and leaks in pressure sensing lines, detection of degradation of the dynamic response of process instruments, and the like. Examples of benefits of OLM for condition monitoring include: (1) the ability to determine the onset of failure of pumps, valves, motors and reactor vessel components; (2) residual life assessment of equipment; (3) equipment life extension and aging management; (4) the ability to establish objective schedules for preventive maintenance, equipment refurbishment or replacement; and (5) maintenance cost reduction, efficiency improvements, reduction of plant outages, and reduction of radiation exposure to plant personnel.--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rising operating costs and increased competition have focused attention on the need to improve thermal performance in nuclear power plants (NPPs), to ensure efficient electricity generation. Efforts to improve thermal performance require a broad understanding of NPP design, operation, maintenance, ambient conditions, and thermal sciences. This publication provides various methodologies for tracking and trending NPP thermal performance. It describes the essential elements of a thermal performance programme, providing guidelines on the design of the balance of the plant systems for new build NPPs and improvements to an existing programme for operating NPPs."--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since first AC current high-power hydropower plant was put in operation, built by Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse in 1895 on Niagara Falls, electrification of the world has dramatically changed. The growing power demand and energy consumption in the last decades require fundamental changes in the process, power production, and services. These requirements tend to use both conventional and nonconventional energy generation in order to have power plants economically useful and environmentally friendly to the society. The goal of this textbook is to provide an up-to-date review of this important topic with specific emphasis on the current guidelines for improving overall efficiency, lowering emissions, and using large share of renewable energy.
Download or read book Power Plant Performance written by A B Gill and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power Plant Performance discusses the different procedures and practices involved in the operation of power plants. The book is divided into four parts. Part I covers general considerations such as steam cycles; the sampling, analysis, and assessment of coal; and pumping – its related terms, the different types of pumps, and the determination of sizes and efficiency. Part II tackles the important measurements in power plants such as temperature, pressure, and gas and water flow. Part III deals with the operation of power plant components such as the boiler, turbine, and condensers. Part IV tackles other related topics such as steam turbine heat consumption tests; plant-operating parameters; and the costs of outages. The text is recommended for professionals involved in the development, maintenance, and operation of power plants, especially those who would like to be familiar with the basics.
