Abstract
Abstract The object of the invention is to ensure a fast, economical and reliable power regulation of a steam generating power plant ( 1 ) having a turbo set that comprises a steam turbine ( 2 ) and a generator ( 6 ) and during the operation of which water (W) is injected into or upstream of an overheater heating surface According to the disclosed fast power regulating process of the steam generating power plant ( 1 ), the injection rate of water (W) is increased to adjust an additional generator output. In a steam generating power plant ( 1 ) which is particularly suitable for carrying out the process, an overheater heating surface, of a steam generator ( 28 ) is provided with a water injector ( 70, 71 ) connected to a regulating component ( 82 ) for regulating the injection rate of water (W) into the overheater heating surface. The regulating component ( 82 ) supplies a regulating signal to the water injector, ( 70, 72 ), depending on the required additional generator output.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for closed-loop output control of a steam power plant having a turbo-generator set with a steam turbine, a superheater heating surface and a generator, which comprises: injecting plant water at a superheater heating surface when the steam power plant is in operation; and setting an extra generator output in a range of approximately 3 to 5% of a full load of the power plant within a reaction time of up to approximately 30 seconds by increasing a water injection rate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for closed-loop output control of a steam power plant having a turbo-generator set with a steam turbine, a superheater heating surface and a generator, which comprises: injecting plant water at a superheater heating surface when the steam power plant is in operation; and setting an extra generator output in a range of approximately 3 to 5% of a full load of the power plant within a reaction time of up to approximately 30 seconds by increasing a water injection rate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method according to claim 1 , wherein the injecting step comprises injecting plant water in the superheater heating surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method according to claim 1 , wherein the injecting step comprises injecting plant water upstream of the superheater heating surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method according to claim 1 , wherein the steam power plant includes a high-pressure superheater and the setting step comprises increasing the water injection rate at the high-pressure superheater.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method according to claim 1 , wherein the steam power plant includes a reheater and the setting step comprises increasing the water injection rate at the reheater.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
56 words
The method according to claim 1 , which comprises, after a waiting time of up to approximately one minute after an increase in the water injection rate, lowering a desired value for temperature of the steam flowing out from the superheater heating surface by a prescribable amount calculated from the increase in the water injection rate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
59 words
The method according to claim 1 , wherein the steam power plant includes a steam generator and a combustion chamber connected to the steam generator and heated by fossil fuel from a fuel supply, and, simultaneously with increasing the water injection rate, increasing the fuel supply to the combustion chamber by a value matched to the extra generator output.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
59 words
The method according to claim 1 , wherein the steam power plant includes a steam generator and a combustion chamber connected to the steam generator and heated by fossil fuel from a fuel supply, and, directly after increasing the water injection rate, increasing the fuel supply to the combustion chamber by a value matched to the extra generator output.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
104 words
A steam power plant receiving water, comprising: a turbo-generator set having a generator and a steam turbine with a water-steam circuit; a controller; and a steam generator having heating surfaces connected to said water-steam circuit of said steam turbine, said heating surfaces including a superheater heating surface having a water injector connected to said controller for setting a water injection rate into said superheater heating surface, said controller sending an actuating signal to said water injector for controlling said water injection rate as a function of a required extra generator output of approximately 3 to 5% of a full load of the power plant.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
104 words
A steam power plant receiving water, comprising: a turbo-generator set having a generator and a steam turbine with a water-steam circuit; a controller; and a steam generator having heating surfaces connected to said water-steam circuit of said steam turbine, said heating surfaces including a superheater heating surface having a water injector connected to said controller for setting a water injection rate into said superheater heating surface, said controller sending an actuating signal to said water injector for controlling said water injection rate as a function of a required extra generator output of approximately 3 to 5% of a full load of the power plant.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
26 words
The steam power plant according to claim 9 , wherein said controller prescribes an actuating signal to said water injector for increasing said water injection rate.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
32 words
