Series Editor: James G. Speight

Scope: More than half of the world’s energy sources go toward generating power, and, with climate change, skyrocketing energy costs, and environmental concerns facing the energy industry, generating cleaner, more efficient power is more important than ever before. The mission of this series is to create a handbook for each major energy source that is the standard, state-of-the-art, definitive text for any engineer, scientist, or technician working in that field. There will be one volume each for the four major sources of power: natural gas, coal, nuclear, and renewable sources, such as wind and solar. The fifth volume will be a definitive handbook for power plant operations and maintenance, including safety and economic issues.

The Power Generation series reaches a wide audience including engineers, scientists, researchers, industrial experts and students working in the fields of natural gas, coal, solar and wind energy, and nuclear energy. It will also be an important series of texts for any engineer, scientist, or technician working in a power plant, regardless of the source of the energy used in the plant.
