The technology ... how it operates..and a history of the development of the technology is all here in this introductory handbook to cutting-edge microturbine applications. The author directs a microturbine generator testing and assessment program for a major utility, working clo…
This textbook explores the working principles of all kinds of turbomachines. The same theoretical framework is used to analyze the different machine types. The order in which the different kinds are treated is chosen by the possibility of gradually building up theoretical concep…
URBAN RHYTHM is a project about re-envisioning museums as a cultural infrastructure to foster an active public realm for exhibiting, encountering, and happening. Primarily, this project seeks to realize a museum that challenges the typical formal "white cube" gallery by recogniz…
A novel approach is presented to increase the operational flexibility of steam turbines. Pressure at the exhaust of the last stage of a condensing steam turbine is one of the most important parameters that limit the operation of a steam turbine - especially on days with hot ambi…
Covering the energy demand by using environmentally friendly resources is a major challenge of the present. Gas turbines take a central role in accomplishing this objective, as they allow for bridging periods of a deficit in available renewable energy sources. The application of…
As the percentage of wind energy in global energy portfolio rises, the wind turbine control is becoming increasingly important for the integration of wind turbines in power systems. The early control objective of wind turbine control was only to maximize the power output but now…
Wind energy is still developing industry and people who work in this industry working hard to accomplish the difficulties. Problems are not arise only by nature of wind but technological developments, methods and even market pressure itself. Wind turbine theoretical power curves…
Harvesting offshore wind energy has been a primary stimulus for research recently as more shreds of evidence show the highly unexploited potential it carries. As water depth increases, fixed-bottom foundations become impractical and floating solutions must be adopted for offshor…
Thermal Engineering of Nuclear Power Stations: Balance-of-Plant Systems serves as a ready reference to better analyze common engineering challenges in the areas of turbine cycle analysis, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. The scope of the book is broad and comprehensive, encomp…
