Modern Power Station Practice: Incorporating Modern Power System Practice (Set of 12 Volumes)

0.0

The planning and design development of new power station proposals at first sight appears straightforward, but experience has shown that such a process car. involve complex interaction between not only etc various engineering disciplines which contribute to the process hut also environmental. planning, economical, political and social pressures. In this third edition, the opportunity has been taken to restructure the information and CEGB experience to provide a logical review of the investigations and engineering design activities which are required to underwrite power station development. The Engineering studies are outlined in some detail together with examples showing how such activities need to be brought together to fully define the project parameters. Engineer; by nature and training prefer to make decisions on factual information but in reality judgment is often required. A sound basis for exercising this need is not only experience but also knowledge, and the revised text attempts to illustrate how the progressive and interactive nature of investigations allows for project evolution from initial concept on through to commitment to construct. The implications of the more intangible 'non-engineering' factors are reviewed and their potential influence on the development process discussed in general terms, but For any particular proposal these aspects will have varying degrees of relevance. It will be the responsibility of the development manager in his own particular circumstances to judge the influence of these factors and the implications they may have for the cost and programme of his project. There is always so much that is of relevance in preparing a text that the engineers responsible for this chapter have had to he responsible for choosing those aspects which they consider most important. If the material they have chosen is found to be of benefit to thc reader and helps to pass on the experience and 'know how' of the CEGB engineers working in this field, then the authors will no doubt draw some satisfaction from their efforts.
