The book describes the systems and equipment used for measuring and controlling boilers and heat-recovery steam-generators used in land and marine power plant and in process industries. It is intended as a practical guide to the design, installation, operation and maintenance of these systems. Starting with descriptions of how each area of the plant operates, it shows how the relevant control systems have evolved, how they are implemented in modern systems and how to evaluate the merits of alternative approaches.
Developments in control technology have brought opportunities for the power industry in terms of energy efficiency and safety, but also the risk of a comprehension gap between control specialists and power plant engineers. This practically-oriented book bridges the gap. Contents includes a wide variety of plant and combustion arrangements, from smaller boiler systems to full-scale generators, common principles, commercial aspects, measurement, and key techniques such as cogeneration and combined cycle.
