Re: Learning resources on steam turbines and electric generators

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.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's old info but interesting anyway.

Google's Steam Turbine stuff.

And Electric Generator stuff.

Some Navy manuals.
