Handbook of Large Turbo-Generator Operation and Maintenance
by Geoff Klempner and Isidor Kerszenbaum
Operation and Maintenance of Large Turbo-Generators
by Isador Kerszenbaum and Geoff Klempner
Readers will find very detailed coverage of: design and construction of generators and auxiliary systems; generator operation, including interaction with the grid; monitoring, diagnostics, and protection of turbo-generators; inspection practices, including stator, rotor, and auxiliary systems; ideas for improving plant reliability and reducing costs and electrical failures; maintenance testing, including electrical and nondestructive examination. "Operation and Maintenance of Large Turbo-Generators" comes filled with photos and graphs, commonly used inspection forms, and extensive references for each topic. It is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in the design, construction, protection, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of large generators in generating stations and industrial power facilities. The book is also an excellent learning tool for students, consultants, and design engineers.
Handbook of Large Hydro Generators
by Glenn Mottershead, Stefano Bomben, Geoff Klempner, and Isidor Kerszenbaum
This book offers comprehensive coverage of the operation and maintenance of large hydro generators
This book is a practical handbook for engineers and maintenance staff responsible for the upkeep of large salient-pole hydro generators used in electric power plants. Focusing on the physics and maintenance of large vertical salient pole generators, it offers readers real-world experience, problem description, and solutions, while teaching them about the design, modernization, inspections, maintenance, and operation of salient pole machines.
Handbook of Large Hydro Generators: Operation and Maintenance provides an introduction to the principles of operation of synchronous machines. It then covers design and construction, auxiliary systems, operation and control, and monitoring and diagnostics of generators. Generator protection, inspection practices and methodology and auxiliaries inspections are also examined. The final two chapters are dedicated to maintenance and testing, and maintenance philosophies, upgrades, and uprates. The handbook includes over 420 color photos and 180 illustrations, forms, and tables to complement the topics covered in the chapters.
Written with a machine operator and inspector in mind, Handbook of Large Hydro Generators: Operation and Maintenance:
- Instructs readers how to perform complete machine inspections, understand what they are doing, and find solutions for any problems encountered
- Includes real-life, practical, field experiences so that readers can familiarize themselves with aspects of machine operation, maintenance, and solutions to common problems
- Benefits experienced and new power plant operators, generator design engineers and operations engineers.
- Is authored by industry experts who participated in the writing and maintenance of IEEE standards (IEEE C50.12 and C50.13) on the subjectÂ
Handbook of Large Hydro Generators: Operation and Maintenance is an ideal resource for scientists and engineers whose research interest is in electromagnetic and energy conversion. It is also an excellent book for senior undergraduate and graduate students majoring in energy generation, and generator operation and maintenance.
