Electric Power Plant Design - Technical Manual
Content Inside:
This manual provides engineering data and criteria for designing electric power plants where the size and characteristics of the electric power load and the economics of the particular facilit y justify on-site generation. Maximum size of plant considered in this manual is 30,000 kW. Electric power plants fall into several categories and classes depending on the type of prime mover. Table 1-1 provides a general description of plant type and related capacity requirements. For purposes of this introduction Table 1-2 defines, in more detail, the diesel plant classes and operational characteristics; additional information is provided in Chapter 7. No similar categories have been developed for gas turbines. Finally, for purposes of this manual and to provide a quick scale for the plants under review here, several categories have been developed. This technical manual divided into 8 chapters as follows: Chapter 1 - Introduction: Purpose, Design phlosophy, design criteria, economic considerations. Chapter 2 - Site and Civil Facility Design: Selection I. Site Selection, Section II. Civil Facilities, Buildings, Safety, and Security. Chapter 3 Steam Turbine Power Plant Design, Section I. Typical Plants and Cycles, Section II. Steam Generators and Auxiliary Systems, Section III. Fuel Handling and Storage Systems, Ash Handling Systems, Condenser and Circulating Water System, Feedwater System, Service Water and Closed Cooling Systems. Chapter 4 - Generator and Electrical facilities Design. Chapter 5 - General Power Plant Facilities Design, Chapter 6 - Gas Turbine Power Plant Design, Chapter 7 - Diesel Engine Power Plant Design, Chapter 8 Combined Cycle Power Plants.
