This is an introduction to Central Utility Systems concepts, theories, components and some operations practices. In addition to introducing plant operators to the very basic level of knowledge needed to understand the plant, the best fit for this book may be for those who have some duties in and around the plant and could benefit from some of the basic terms and definitions supplied here. The book focuses on District Energy Systems, but applies to virtually any boiler or steam plant and the systems they use to operate safely and efficiently. The strongest value that this book will bring is a common language as every reader will have the ability to understand the terms and phrases used in and about the plant.

This book is intended as an introduction to the power plant. You should read it if you're new to the plant; if you're assigned responsibility in a support role in the plant to make sure you understand the "jargon" that is our language. Owners, managers, facility engineers, building managers, power plant administrative assistants, energy assistants, or anyone new to the power plant environment will benefit.

Power Plant Synthesis provides an integrated approach to the operation, analysis, simulation, and dimensioning of power plants for electricity and thermal energy production. Fundamental concepts of energy and power, energy conversion, and power plant design are first presented, and integrated approaches for the operation and simulation of conventional electricity production systems are then examined. Hybrid power plants and cogeneration systems are covered, with operating algorithms, optimization, and dimensioning methods explained. The environmental impacts of energy sources are described and compared, with real-life case studies included to show the synthesis of the specific topics covered.

Current Trends and Future Developments in (Bio-) Membranes: Cogeneration Systems and Membrane Technology offers an exhaustive overview of the status of cogeneration systems as they relate to advanced membrane technologies for energy savings. The different options for cogeneration are analyzed, both for large (district) and small (residential) size units, with different primary fuels. Energy efficiency is reported and lifecycle analysis is carried out for all different options. The book outlines strategies for engineering development and process intensification of interest to both industrial and developing countries. Finally, the book includes three chapters on lifecycle analysis (LCA) and economic analysis. Provides an overview of the interconnections between membrane technology and the systems used for the cogeneration of electricity, such as exhaust gas cleaning, carbon capture and sequestration, and low temperature fuel cells Includes two different studies on LCA and a case study on economic analysis Presents comprehensive reviews on various traditional cogeneration systems and compares them to alternative membrane-based technologies Covers membrane based technologies and their application in co-generation systems Addresses key issues on the introduction of process intensification in energy production

This comprehensive volume provides a complete, authoritative, up-to-date reference for all aspects of power plant engineering. Coverage ranges from engineering economics to coal and limestone handling, from design processes to plant thermal heat balances. Both theory and practical applications are covered, giving engineers the information needed to plan, design, construct, upgrade, and operate power plants. Power Plant Engineering is the culmination of experience of hundreds of engineers from Black & Veatch, a leading firm in the field for more than 80 years. The authors review all major power generating technologies, giving particular emphasis to current approaches. Special features of the book include: * More than 1000 figures and lines drawings that illustrate all aspects of the subject. * Coverage of related components and systems in power plants such as turbine-generators, feedwater heaters, condenser, and cooling towers. * Definitions and analyses of the features of various plant systems. * Discussions of promising future technologies. Power Plant Engineering will be the standard reference in the professional engineer's library as the source of information on steam power plant generation. In addition, the clear presentation of the material will make this book suitable for use by students preparing to enter the field.
