Description

Power Plant Synthesis provides an integrated approach to the operation, analysis, simulation, and dimensioning of power plants for electricity and thermal energy production. Fundamental concepts of energy and power, energy conversion, and power plant design are first presented, and integrated approaches for the operation and simulation of conventional electricity production systems are then examined. Hybrid power plants and cogeneration systems are covered, with operating algorithms, optimization, and dimensioning methods explained. The environmental impacts of energy sources are described and compared, with real-life case studies included to show the synthesis of the specific topics covered.

Author Biography:

Dimitris Al. Katsaprakakis holds a Mechanical Engineering degree (1997) and a PhD thesis (2007) from the National Technical University of Athens. He is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department, Technological Educational Institute of Crete. His expertise focuses on wind parks and hybrid power plant development, the development of software tools for the optimization of hybrid power plants dimensioning, the impacts of RES projects on the natural environmental and human activities, and the social attitude towards RES projects applications. He has spearheaded the design and the study of eight hybrid power plants projects in the Greek islands that include wind parks and seawater pumped storage capabilities. Dr. Katzaprakakis has participated in several R&D projects funded by the EU, European/Greek industries and the Greek State, and he is the author of 14 papers in international journals, 2 chapters in international scientific books and more than 30 papers in international and national conferences.
