Electrical Power Generation: Methods and Plants

With the increasing levels of Energy requirements and consumption arising out of population growths and  aspirations for better quality of life, the demand for Electrical Power as the most convenient source of energy supply, will go on increasing. The Electrical Power Generation Methods and Plants and their service delivery capability and quality assume critical dimensions in the pursuit of overall developmental efforts of the Nations.
In the modern era, per capita consumption of electricity in a country is considered as one of the important indices of it's developmental status: both economic and technological.In view of the above, logically, a country has to give due priority and make efforts towards development and availability of adequate Electrical Power Generation capacity on a sustainable regimen.
Engineering Students (electrical and mechanical in particular) as well as the professional beginners, studying and working in the field of Electrical Power Generation and Power Plant Administration, should get a reasonable level of familiarization with the concepts of various technological methods and plants in order to acquire necessary knowledge and competency for a worthwhile professional career in the subject field.
This book attempts to provide certain relevant knowledge inputs to supplement the Academic inputs, by way of providing conceptual clarity on various aspects of the subject. The Author hopes that the readers will find the contents educative and professionally useful.
