Publisher's Synopsis
Power engineering, also called power systems engineering, is a subfield of engineering that deals with the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power as well as the electrical devices connected to such systems including generators, motors and transformers. Although much of the field is concerned with the problems of three-phase AC power- the standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution across the modern world-a significant fraction of the field is concerned with the conversion between AC and DC power as well as the development of specialised power systems such as those used in aircraft or for electric railway networks. This book covers Plant Design Engineering, Process Plant Engineering, Power Plant Engineering, Piping Engineering, Piping Stress Analysis, Plant Design Management System (PDMS), Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Design, Mechanical Equipments (Static & Rotating Equipments), Civil & Structural Engineering, Project Management, Industrial Process Measurement (Field Instrumentation), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Variable Speed Drives, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA), Distributed Control System (DCS), AC/DC Drives and MMI. This is a unique reference book that meets the requirements of all the engineering professionals and researchers engaged in Power Plant Engineering. -
