Hello,

I'm looking for good resources (online or hardcopy books) about steam
turbines and associated electric generators, not focusing too much on
the thermodynamics, but on the design and operational aspects (things
like what are the types of turbines, steam glands, speed control,
startup and shutdown, how do you synchronize the generator to the
network, etc...)

This is probably a FAQ on this group, but I can't seem to find the FAQ
either.

First, even if there was a FAQ, it likely would not cover this. Are your
questions academic? Or are you planning to implement the concepts? That
will make a difference.

Best, Dan.

Dan,
I'm looking for "real world" knowledge. I'm working in a waste to
energy plant, and I need resources to understand the process and all
the vocabulary I hear everyday. There doesn't seem to be any in-house
documentation of that kind so I'm resorting to newsgroups which have
proved to be very efficient in my experience.

zzbunker, you got my point: I don't understand much of all these
systems, and it is to avoid making such mistakes that I'm looking for
books/websites/whatever that might be.

Thanks to both of you for your feedback.
Laurent
