Product Description: This volume contains two additional features which enhance the value of Modern Power Station Practice as a whole: a cumulative subject index and a detailed list of tables of contents for the entire work. The cumulative index provides access to the vast body of information presented in the set, and also indicates at a glance the breadth and depth of the treatment through the use of inclusive page ranges for major topics...read more

Product Description: Boilers and Ancillary Plant reflects the cumulation of experience gained in the design, manufacture and operation of large coal- and oil-fired boilers in the last 20 years. The introduction of 500 MW boilers was not without its problems and this led to the analysis of boiler plant in all its aspects - combustion, furnace heat transfer, the design of superheaters and reheaters operating in the creep range, boiler tube corrosion and its interaction with creep life, the control of slagging and fouling and the maintenance of boiler efficiency...read more

Product Description: The planning and design of new power stations can involve complex interaction between the many engineering disciplines involved as well as environmental, planning, economical, political and social pressures. This volume aims to provide a logical review of the procedures involved in power station development...read more

Product Description: The operation and maintenance of large generating units is just as complex as their design and manufacture. Based on the many years' experience gained from the daily operation of the British Electricity Supply System, this work conveys the lessons learned in developing the new techniques and provides a guide on the practical aspects of operating and maintaining large power stations, especially those with large generating units...read more

Product Description: System Operation is a completely new work not previously published in earlier editions of Modern Power Station Practice. The use of a power system's generation and transmission plant can, however, have a profound effect on the overall cost and reliability of supply, regardless of quality of planning, design and construction...read more
