Power Plant Life Management and Performance Improvement
Critical Review of Degradation Mechanisms That Affect Power Plant
Systems and Components
Coal- and gas-based power plants currently supply the largest
proportion of the world’s power generation capacity. Demands for
improved efficiencies and cleaner generation mean that higher
temperature combustion and advanced emissions controls need to be
incorporated into power plant, which combines with requirements for
more diverse fuel compositions (i.e. fuel-flexibility) to intensify
plant degradation and put an energy penalty upon the plant’s power
output. With higher cycles to maintain net power output, the
importance of plant protection is likewise intensified, requiring
the utilization of improved materials, systems and components to
ensure overall plant performance improvement and life management.
This book critically reviews the fundamental degradation mechanisms
that affect conventional power plant systems and components, noting
mitigation routes alongside monitoring and assessment methods.
Maintenance and replacement routes are further extended through
chapters on the management and refurbishment of advanced systems and
components.
