Overview: asset management – gas turbine power stations

Abstract

This overview was written primarily with graduates, engineers and electrical, mechanical, chemical, instrumentation and control and computer technicians in mind who wish to enter the power generation industry at large and gas turbine power generating plants in particular, since combined cycle gas turbine power plants constitute the largest output and most efficient turbine power generation stations operating today. This Part 3 of a four part overview focuses on the salient asset management aspects of combined cycle steam turbine/generator–exciter units.
