Station Planning and Design: Incorporating Modern Power System Practice

The planning and design of new power stations can involve complex interaction
between the many engineering disciplines involved as well as environmental,
planning, economical, political and social pressures. This volume aims to
provide a logical review of the procedures involved in power station
development. The engineering aspects are outlined in detail, with examples,
showing the basis of the relationships involved together with "non-engineering"
factors so that the engineer can draw on the information provided for specific
projects. The civil engineering and building of power stations are also treated,
from the earliest planning and site selection studies, through estimating,
finance and quantity surveying, to final landscaping.
