Large Turbo-Generators

This is a reference book for operators of large turbogenerators at power plants and power plant engineers. It shows how operators and engineers can diagnose a problem in a machine by examining its symptoms. The key motivation for the book is to provide power plant operators with easy-to-follow algorithms they can use to reduce forced-outage time, possibly saving millions of dollars in alternative production. The book also covers how to react to certain alarms and trips when returning units online.
