Generation Of Electrical Energy by B. R. Gupta: A Review
Generation Of Electrical Energy is a textbook written by B. R. Gupta, a professor of electrical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. The book covers various aspects of electrical energy generation, such as load curves, power plant economics, tariffs, power factor improvement, selection of plant, thermal power plants, hydro electric plants, nuclear power stations, hydro thermal coordination, parallel operation of alternators, major electrical equipment in power plants, system interconnections, new energy sources, generating capacity reliability evaluation, energy audit, and captive power generation. The book is intended for the undergraduate students of electrical engineering as well as for the professionals in the field who want to refresh their knowledge and skills.
The book is divided into 26 chapters, each with a clear introduction, objectives, solved examples, unsolved problems, and references. The book also provides appendices on various topics such as units and conversion factors, steam tables, cost indices, depreciation methods, load duration curves, and load flow studies. The book is well-organized and easy to follow, with diagrams, tables, and graphs to illustrate the concepts and data. The book also uses Scilab codes to demonstrate the numerical methods and calculations involved in electrical energy generation.
The book is based on the latest developments and trends in the field of electrical energy generation. It covers the conventional sources of energy such as coal, oil, gas, hydro, and nuclear as well as the new and renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, tidal, and fuel cells. It also discusses the environmental issues and challenges associated with different types of power plants and the measures to mitigate them. The book also addresses the economic aspects of electrical energy generation such as cost analysis, tariff design, power factor improvement, load management, and energy conservation. The book also provides an overview of the interconnection and coordination of different power systems and the reliability and security aspects of electrical energy generation.
The book is a comprehensive and updated source of information and knowledge for anyone interested in learning about electrical energy generation. It is suitable for both academic and professional purposes and can serve as a reference book for engineers and researchers in the field. The book is available in both print and digital formats and can be accessed online from [Google Books] or downloaded as a PDF document from [PDF Document] or [Harvard Environment].
