Written by Paul Breeze, Power Generation Technologies, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that surveys electricity production methods and their operational contexts.
The volume covers conventional thermal installations alongside established and emerging renewable technologies. Topics include coal and natural gas-fired combined cycle facilities, nuclear power, hydropower, fuel cells, solar power options, and biomass systems.
Each generation method is evaluated using consistent baseline criteria to assess economic viability, environmental impacts, and risk factors. This comparative approach supports electrical engineering students, lecturers, researchers, and energy planners who assess competing generation systems.
