The book covers entire cross functional aspects of a Thermal Power Plant. Some basic engineering related to Power plant is discussed in chapter 1, 2, 3&4. Water chemistry which is very important for a Boiler is discussed in Chapter 5. In Chapter 6, 7, 8,9,10, 11, 12 &13 details of various types of Boiler, Boiler auxiliary systems and Operation of Boiler are discussed. Tube, Pipe and Pipe fittings are disused elaborately in chapter 14 &15. Chapter 16, 17, 18 &19 describe Steam Turbine, Steam Turbine auxiliary System, Operation of Turbine and Generator respectively. Commissioning and Maintenance and of Power plant is described in chapter 20 and 21 respectively. Control & Instrumentation (C&I) for Power Plant is discussed in Chapter 22. Chapter 23 describes scope of Energy conservation in Thermal power plant. Some calculations required in day to day functioning of Power plant are given in chapter 24. Around 600 self test questions are given at the end of each chapter. These questions covers almost full syllabus of BOE examination conducted by various Boiler Boards.
Some essential topics like PC boiler, AFBC/CFBC boiler, Supercritical boiler, Combined cycle power Generation, Advanced supercritical (AD700) technology, IGCC, Best available technology, Next generation technology, Capacity selection of Generating sets, Coal handling plant, RO plant, Large capacity Steam Turbine, Basics of Welding, Bearing, Coupling, Shaft alignment, Machine vibration, Pump, Fan and so many essential topics are incorporated in this book.
