Описание: A comprehensive guide to the concepts and methods of practical design and equipment selection and operation of power plants
Practical Power Plant Engineering offers engineers, new to the profession, a guide to the concepts and methods of practical design, equipment selection andoperation of power plants. The author--a noted expert on the topic--draws on decades of practical experience working in a number of industries with ever-changing technologies. This comprehensive book covers all aspects of electrical engineering related to the design and development of power and heavy industrial projects. It is filled with descriptive examples, relay protection, calculations, illustrations, and common-sense engineering approaches.
The book explores the most relevant topics and reviews the industry standards and established engineering practices. For example, the author discusses plant switching equipment, MV and LV switchgear, MV controllers and MCCs including calculations of interrupting duty of the breakers and contactorsand outlines the various methods of power distribution systems for plant facilities. The text also contains useful information on the various types of concentrated solar and photovoltaic plants as well as wind DFIG plants. This important book:
- Explains why and how to select the proper ratings for electrical equipment for specific applications
- Includes information on the critical requirements for designing power systems to meet the performance requirements
- Presents tests of the electrical equipment that prove it is built to the required standards and will meet plant-specific operating requirements
Written for both professional engineers early in their career and experienced engineers, Practical Power Plant Engineering is a must-have resource that offers the information needed to apply the concepts of power plant engineering in the real world.
