Coal- and gas-based power plants currently supply the largest
proportion of the world s power generation capacity, and are
required to operate to increasingly stringent environmental
standards. Higher temperature combustion is therefore being adopted
to improve plant efficiency and to maintain net power output given
the energy penalty that integration of advanced emissions control
systems cause. However, such operating regimes also serve to
intensify degradation mechanisms within power plant systems,
potentially affecting their reliability and lifespan.
Power plant life management and performance improvement critically
reviews the fundamental degradation mechanisms that affect
conventional power plant systems and components, as well as
examining the operation and maintenance approaches and advanced
plant rejuvenation and retrofit options that the industry are
applying to ensure overall plant performance improvement and life
management.
Part one initially reviews plant operation issues, including fuel
flexibility, condition monitoring and performance assessment. Parts
two, three and four focus on coal boiler plant, gas turbine plant,
and steam boiler and turbine plant respectively, reviewing
environmental degradation mechanisms affecting plant components and
their mitigation via advances in materials selection and life
management approaches, such as repair, refurbishment and upgrade.
Finally, part five reviews issues relevant to the performance
management and improvement of advanced heat exchangers and power
plant welds.
With its distinguished editor and international team of
contributors, Power plant life management and performance
improvement is an essential reference for power plant operators,
industrial engineers and metallurgists, and researchers interested
in this important field.
