Description

Coal- and gas-based power plants currently supply the largest proportion of the world s power generation capacity. This book critically reviews the fundamental degradation mechanisms that affect conventional power plant systems and components, noting mitigation routes alongside monitoring and assessment methods. Maintenance and replacement routes are further extended through chapters on the management and refurbishment of advanced systems and components. Key Features: 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. Contents: Part 1 Power plant fuel flexibility, condition monitoring and performance assessment: Solid fuel composition and power plant fuel-flexibility; Condition monitoring and assessment of power plant components; Availability analysis of integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants. Part 2 Coal boiler plant: materials degradation, plant life management and performance improvement: Environmental degradation of boiler components; Creep in boiler materials: mechanisms, measurement and modelling; Microstructural degradation in boiler steels: materials developments, properties and assessment; Boiler steels, damage mechanisms, inspection and life assessment. Part 3 Gas turbine plant: materials degradation, plant life management and performance improvement: Creep, fatigue and microstructural degradation in gas turbine superalloys; Gas turbine materials selection, life management and performance improvement; Gas turbine maintenance, refurbishment and repair. Part 4 Steam boiler and turbine plant: materials degradation, plant life management and performance improvement: Steam oxidation in steam boiler and turbine environments; Steam boiler component loading, monitoring and life assessment; Steam turbine materials selection, life management and performance improvement; Steam turbine upgrades for power plant life management and performance improvement. Part 5 Heat exchangers and power plant welds: materials management and performance improvement: High-temperature heat exchangers in indirectly fired combined cycle (IFCC) systems: materials management and performance improvement; Heat recovery steam generators: performance management and improvement; Power plant welds and joints: materials management and performance improvement.
