Springer | Energy Technology | Jun 21 2016 | ISBN-10: 8132227204 | 262 pages | pdf | 4.68 mb
Authors: Chanda, Pradip, Mukhopaddhyay, Suparna
Illustrates specific operation and maintenance guidelines
Provides process performance determination techniques
Contains detailed procedure for conducting performance evaluation tests on different equipments, analyzing test results for predicting the maintenance requirement
Helps to identify defects/malfunctioning through chemical health analysis

This book illustrates operation and maintenance practices/guidelines for economic generation and managing health of a thermal power generator beyond its regulatory life. The book provides knowledge for professionals managing power station operations, through its unique approach to chemical analysis of water, steam, oil etc. to identify malfunctioning/defects in equipment/systems much before the physical manifestation of the problem. The book also contains a detailed procedure for conducting performance evaluation tests on different equipment, and for analyzing test results for predicting maintenance requirements, which has lent a new dimension to power systems operation and maintenance practices. A number of real life case studies also enrich the book. This book will prove particularly useful to power systems operations professionals in the developing economies, and also to researchers and students involved in studying power systems operations and control.
