 General to the point of worthless September 27, 2007
Arthur L. Mayclin (Folsom, CA United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A 206 page book claiming to cover power plant control and instrumentation should be the first indication of its brevity. What you get is an introduction explaining steam generation and its use, basic control loop layout, types of instrumentation (valves primarily) and some odds and ends dealing with nomenclature and the DCS. Everything is general to the point of worthless.
If you want to build (or start) a proper library for learning or reference (relating to power plant control and instrumentation), I wouldn't include this book in the list. Instead you'd be better served with in depth books and standards covering the various topics.
 key ideas in running a power plant September 13, 2007
W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3)

Lindsley explains how running a power plant is a multidisciplinary task. Needing engineers with expertise in chemical engineering, thermodynamics, control systems and computing. The latter is what has perhaps changed most in recent years, given the still plummeting cost of computers. But unlike purely software systems, a power plant involves many potentially hazardous reagents and high temperatures and pressures. Far greater physical risks.
The book goes over the main types of instruments that a plant has. Their operating principles and how and where they are usually attached, inside the plant. The instruments then report, usually in as close to real time as possible, to a control room.
Other ideas include controlling the temperature of steam. Perhaps by spraying relatively cooler water droplets into the steam. Hence, there are gadgets like a desuperheater, to perform these tasks.
