Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Plants

Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Plants

Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Plants covers the design, analysis, and optimization of the cleanest, most efficient fossil fuel-fired electric power generation technology at present and in the foreseeable future.

The book contains a wealth of first principles-based calculation methods comprising key formulae, charts, rules of thumb, and other tools developed by the author over the course of 25+ years spent in the power generation industry. It is focused exclusively on actual power plant systems and actual field and/or rating data providing a comprehensive picture of the gas turbine  technology from performance and cost perspectives.

Material presented in this book is applicable for research and development studies in academia and government/industry laboratories, as well as practical, day-to-day problems encountered in the industry (including OEMs, consulting engineers and plant operators).

The goal of the author is to provide the reader with specialized knowledge that can be readily applied to the solution of day-to-day problems encountered in design, development, optimization, operation and maintenance of  power plants. Such knowledge comprises specific data (some hard to find – even on the internet, at least not in a compact and readily usable form), formulae, code snippets, charts and rules of thumbs. The book also includes a broad range of quantitative methods and tools that have been developed and used by the author over the course of more than two decades spent in the industry.
