???Generation of Electrical Energy??? is written primarily for the undergraduate students of electrical engineering while also covering the syllabus of AMIE and act as a refresher for the professionals in the field. For more than 30 years, the book has been very useful ??? however, the subject itself is now rejuvenated with important new developments. With this in view, the all new 7th edition covers conventional topics such as load curves, steam generation, hydro-generation parallel operation as well as new topics such as new sources of energy generation, hydrothermal coordination and static reserve reliability evaluation among others. Features : 1. A new chapter on "Power Trading" has been added which will be helpful to understand how to ensure the needed supply of energy and protect from supply shortages by trading of power. 2. All generation data for Capacity, Electrical energy, Gas Turbine Plants, Geothermal plants and Captive Power Plants has been updated throughout the book 3. Test Point Questions have been added at the end of each chapter for students to practice 4. An appendix has been added which lists the latest developments in Coal Fired Steam Plants across India TOC : 1. Introduction 2. Loads and Load Curves 3. Power Plant Economics 4.
