Features: This manual is a comprehensive reference book that systematically summarizes the main technical content of various disciplines in power engineering of power plants. It covers technical aspects such as thermal power generation units, start-up and commissioning of thermal power units, power plant buildings, hydropower stations, nuclear power plants, gas turbines and combined cycles, environmental protection and comprehensive utilization. The manual emphasizes practicality, providing a relatively comprehensive introduction to the technical knowledge and skills commonly used and required by power engineers in their work. It also introduces the latest trends and relatively mature new technologies and processes in the industry. The manual compiles a large number of commonly used data, formulas, and charts for quick reference by engineers of various disciplines. Additionally, it cites approximately 420 current national and industry standards, outlining the technical standards that should be followed by major disciplines in power generation engineering.
The manual covers a wide range of topics, providing a comprehensive introduction to the functional requirements, technical conditions, and design specifications for various building structures in thermal power plants. It details the structural characteristics, performance parameters, commonly used materials, start-up and commissioning, operation and maintenance, testing, accident analysis and handling, and technical improvement methods for thermal power units (including boilers, steam turbines, process automation, power plant chemistry, power plant metals, and pipelines), hydropower stations, nuclear power plants, gas turbines, and combined cycle power generation.
In terms of environmental protection, the manual summarizes aspects such as atmospheric environment, water environment, noise control, and comprehensive utilization of fly ash, while also providing methods for radiation protection in nuclear power plants. This manual is suitable for technical personnel and leaders engaged in design, equipment selection, installation, supervision, start-up and commissioning, operation and maintenance, maintenance, testing, technical supervision, equipment improvement, research, and management in various disciplines of power generation engineering. It can also serve as a reference for faculty and students of relevant higher education institutions.
