{"product_id":"electric-power-generation-a-nontechnical-guide","title":"Electric Power Generation: A Nontechnical Guide","description":"Unlike more technical texts stuffed with formulae and theories, this book explains in plain English how power is created and replaces formulae with everyday examples and easy-to-understand illustrations.\nIt opens with an explanation of how electricity is generated, then covers the planning and development of electric power stations, emphasizing modern considerations of merchant power plants, repowering, and the growth of gas turbine generation. The \"facts\" of generation are covered in part two―boilers, turbines, generators, hydro and pumped storage, and \"alternative\" generations sources, suchs geothermal, tidal, solar, and wind. Maintenance and operations are covered in basic overview format. Finally, environmental considerations―again, an increasing concern in light of deregulation and environmental law―are reviewed.\nIn addition, the authors cover specific features and fuel-types in nontechnical terms. Industry newcomers will appreciate this clear explanation of how power is created.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0878147535\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0878147535.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Barnett, Dave|Bjornsgaard, Kirk\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
