Thermal Power Plant: Design and Operation deals with various aspects of a thermal power plant, providing a new dimension to the subject, with focus on operating practices and troubleshooting, as well as technology and design. Its author has a 40-long association with thermal power plants in design as well as field engineering, sharing his experience with professional engineers under various training capacities, such as training programs for graduate engineers and operating personnel. Thermal Power Plant presents practical content on coal-, gas-, oil-, peat- and biomass-fueled thermal power plants, with chapters in steam power plant systems, start up and shut down, and interlock and protection. Its practical approach is ideal for engineering professionals. Focuses exclusively on thermal power, addressing some new frontiers specific to thermal plantsPresents both technology and design aspects of thermal power plants, with special treatment on plant operating practices and troubleshootingFeatures a practical approach ideal for professionals, but can also be used to complement undergraduate and graduate studies INDICE: Steam power plant cyclesSteam generatorFuels and combustionPulverized coal fired boilerFluidized bed combustion boilerSteam turbineGas turbine and heat recovery steam generatorDiesel power plantSteam power plant systemsAutomatic controlInterlock & protectionStart-up & shut-downAbnormal operating conditionsAir pollution controlCodes and standards for power plant design and operation
