Explore sustainable electric power generation technology, from first principles to cutting-edge systems, in this in-depth resource. Including energy storage, carbon capture, hydrogen and hybrid systems, the detailed coverage includes performance estimation, operability concerns, economic trade-off and other intricate analyses, supported by implementable formulae, real-world data and tried-and-tested quantitative and qualitative estimating techniques. Starting from basic concepts and key equipment, this book builds to precise analysis of balance of plant operation through data and methods gained from decades of hands-on design, testing, operation and trouble-shooting. Gain the knowledge you need to operate in conditions beyond standard settings and environment, with thorough descriptions of off-design operations. Novel technologies become accessible with stripped-back descriptions and physics-based calculations. This book is an ideal companion for engineers in the gas turbine and electric power field.
