Advanced Energy Systems
Search in google:
This text deals with advanced energy systems that are sensitive to the environment, such as combined-cycle power plants. The text analyzes major advanced power generation technologies, and it gives an outlook to the future of power engineering. Among the features of this book are over 50 solved problems, examples included at the end of each chapter, a state-of-the-art analysis of advanced energy and emerging technologies, and full figures, appendices, and references. Booknews Suitable as a text for a graduate or undergraduate course in energy technology and environmental conservation. Describes mature state-of- the-art advanced energy systems and those emerging energy technologies that have already proven their feasibility in large-scale demonstration projects and are therefore on the brink of full-scale commercialization. They include combined-cycle gas turbine and steam power plants, various improved gas turbine configurations, coal-based low-emission, co-generation plants, advanced wind and solar systems, and energy storage systems.
