Power Generation Technologies: Foundations, Design and Advances provides a comprehensive introduction to the latest developments in renewable and non-renewable generation technologies considered at micro and large-scale, and for traditional facility scale and modern distributed power generation systems. Each chapter provides a foundation in the topic enriched with practical solved examples, end chapter exercises and technical references. Provided computer codes can be instrumentalized to investigate practical examples at a granular level. In addition to the fundamental and theoretical discussions, operational and maintenance guidelines for power equipment are provided to prepare students for work in power plants. The work provides new international standards and regulation for power generation as well as content devoted to the thermo-economics of power generation and power plants. It is supported by a solution manual for end-chapter exercises and a slide show presentation of the book for instructors and students. Enriched with more than 100 EES computer program codes used to deepen reader understanding and solve examples for parametric and sensitivity analyses Provides a practical and pedagogical focus, thus preparing students to work as power plant engineers (with practical examples and discussions) Includes more than 250 high quality photos, graphs and tables to present core concepts and analyses precisely and encourage visual learning Reviews multi-criteria design methods for modern power plant design and multi-generation cycles used for the production of cooling, heating, power, hydrogen and desalination, along with practical examples.

The new edition of Power Generation Technologies is a concise and readable guide that provides an introduction to the full spectrum of currently available power generation options, from traditional fossil fuels and the better established alternatives such as wind and solar power, to emerging renewables such as biomass and geothermal energy. Technology solutions such as combined heat and power and distributed generation are also explored. However, this book is more than just an account of the technologies - for each method the author explores the economic and environmental costs a

This timely book examines the reform of China's vast power generation network and its future energy efficiency and environmental policies. Coal being used for power generation accounts for 54% of China's sulphur dioxide emissions. In 2009, electricity generation consumed 50gce more coal than the international advanced level, which means 180 million tons of standard coal equivalent was over consumed in that year (3681.2 billion kWh). In 2009, the line loss rate of the PRC's power grid reached 6.49%, which is 1% higher than the world's advanced level. More than 30 billion KWh of electricity was
