This work provides a comprehensive approach to the planning and reliability calculations for the expansion of power generation systems, transmission networks and plant maintenance scheduling. The mathematical and statistical theory required by the reader is introduced and explained by means of examples at the beginning of the text and particular emphasis is given to operational research and rel…
Advanced Power Generation Systems: Thermal Sources evaluates advances made in heat-to-power technologies for conventional combustion heat and nuclear heat, along with natural sources of geothermal, solar, and waste heat generated from the use of different sources. These advances will render the landscape of power generation significantly different in just a few decades. This book covers the com…
Distributed generation is not a new concept. Originally, all energy was produced and consumed at or near the process that required it. A fireplace, wood stove, and candle are all forms of "distributed" - small scale, demand-sited - energy. So is a pocket watch, alarm, or car battery. The key to today's energy revolution, however, involves turning the resource clock backwards (from large power p…
