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.

Book excerpt: Modern gas turbine power plants represent one of the most efficient and economic conventional power generation technologies suitable for large-scale and smaller scale applications. Alongside this, gas turbine systems operate with low emissions and are more flexible in their operational characteristics than other large-scale generation units such as steam cycle plants. Gas turbines are unrivalled in their superior power density (power-to-weight) and are thus the prime choice for industrial applications where size and weight matter the most. Developments in the field look to improve on this performance, aiming at higher efficiency generation, lower emission systems and more fuel-flexible operation to utilise lower-grade gases, liquid fuels, and gasified solid fuels/biomass. Modern gas turbine systems provides a comprehensive review of gas turbine science and engineering. The first part of the book provides an overview of gas turbine types, applications and cycles. Part two moves on to explore major components of modern gas turbine systems including compressors, combustors and turbogenerators. Finally, the operation and maintenance of modern gas turbine systems is discussed in part three. The section includes chapters on performance issues and modelling, the maintenance and repair of components and fuel flexibility. Modern gas turbine systems is a technical resource for power plant operators, industrial engineers working with gas turbine power plants and researchers, scientists and students interested in the field. Provides a comprehensive review of gas turbine systems and fundamentals of a cycle Examines the major components of modern systems, including compressors, combustors and turbines Discusses the operation and maintenance of component parts
