This guide presents information regarding the essential subsystems that make up a fossil-fueled unit-connected boiler-turbine-generator station and describes typical interlocking, control, and protection for operating them in a coordinated order to ensure proper start-up and safe shutdown. The primary purpose of this guide is to provide a basis for qualitative evaluation of overall design of a unit-connected fossil fuel plant, and writing general operating guides of an educational nature, thereby serving to aid in acquainting personnel with boiler-turbine-generator systems. Every new fossil plant will have its own special operating sequence due to the type of equipment installed and its operating company's practices. However, this guide purports to include in one document a description of various cycles in a power plant, their sequence of operation, and protection procedures.

Fossil-fuel power plants account for the majority of worldwide power generation. Increasing global energy demands, coupled with issues of ageing and inefficient power plants, have led to new power plant construction programmes. As cheaper fossil fuel resources are exhausted and emissions criteria are tightened, utilities are turning to power plants designed with performance in mind to satisfy requirements for improved capacity, efficiency, and environmental characteristics.Advanced power plant materials, design and technology provides a comprehensive reference on the state of the art o

This guide addresses the application, design concepts, and implementation of computer-based control systems for hydroelectric plant automation. It addresses functional capabilities, performance requirements, interface requirements, hardware considerations, and operator training. It includes recommendations for system testing and acceptance. The electrical protective system (generator and step-up transformer) is beyond the scope of this guide.

Explore sustainable electric power generation technology, from first principles to cutting-edge systems, in this in-depth resource. Including energy storage, carbon capture, hydrogen and hybrid systems, the detailed coverage includes performance estimation, operability concerns, economic trade-off and other intricate analyses, supported by implementable formulae, real-world data and tried-and-tested quantitative and qualitative estimating techniques. Starting from basic concepts and key equipment, this book builds to precise analysis of balance of plant operation through data and methods gained from decades of hands-on design, testing, operation and trouble-shooting. Gain the knowledge you need to operate in conditions beyond standard settings and environment, with thorough descriptions of off-design operations. Novel technologies become accessible with stripped-back descriptions and physics-based calculations. This book is an ideal companion for engineers in the gas turbine and electric power field.
