Power Plant Life Management and Performance Improvement

Pages : 705
Book Description
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. Provides an overview of the improvements to plant efficiency in coal- and gas-based power plants Critically reviews the fundamental degradation mechanisms that affect conventional power plant systems and components, noting mitigation routes alongside monitoring and assessment methods Addresses plant operation issues including fuel flexibility, condition monitoring and performance assessment

Book Description
This research present the information and performance strategies for improvement the performance of thermal power plant .the performance of a coal thermal power plant measured in terms of Availability, Reliability, Boiler Efficiency, Cost of power, Impact on Environment, Safety operation and maintenance, Resource Utilization and Environment safety and protection. For achieving excellence in the performance of thermal power plant there should be proper and efficient operation and maintenance process because unplanned downtime will be result in lost of electricity generation, efficiency and overall performance of power plant. So the thermal power station facing the major challenges to reduce the downtime and also reduce the operation and maintenance cost per MWh of output. So, in order to improve the performance of power plant sometimes overlook the need to established planned ways of prioritizing action for the improvement, developing the best practices in power plant, facilitating the experience sharing, Comparing the performance against those achieved using improvement strategy. The basic objectives of this project are to identify the best operating parameters for power plant.
