Modern Power Station Practice

The electricity generation and distribution industry has undergone far-reaching development during the last 20 years, and the information needs of its policymakers, managers and power engineers are no longer served by any one publication. With this in mind, British Electricity International and Pergamon Press are pleased to present a completely revised and enlarged 3rd Edition of Modern Power Station Practice incorporating Modern Power System Practice . This authoritative series of 12 handbooks will be published progressively between mid-1990 and mid-1991. All volumes are devoted to specific subject areas, and have been written by authors who are recognized authorities in their speciality fields. Since the publication of the previous edition in 1971, much experience has been gained by the CEGB through the commissioning of its large modern power stations; in addition, the wider issues of power transmission and system operation had not been previously addressed. The scope of this new edition has therefore been considerably enhanced by three additional volumes: Station Commissioning , EHV Transmission and System Operation . A completely up-to-date treatment of theoretical and practical aspects is complemented by thousands of illustrations: innovative flow diagrams, colour and black-and-white plates, and detailed cut-away drawings. The coverage throughout is comprehensive and clear, ensuring that engineers and technicians will gain maximum benefit from the wealth of information provided.British Electricity International Staff is the author of 'Modern Power Station Practice', published 1993 under ISBN 9780080422404 and ISBN 0080422403.
