METHOD OF STEAM TURBINE SET OPERATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F01K3/22 F03D9/02 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed invention relates to the field of heat power engineering, related to steam turbine sets, in particular, included into steam gas plants, with steam reheating by means of a thermal electric heater. The method of operation of the steam turbine set includes steam reheating by means of a thermal electric heater (2), supplied from a power generating wind-driven power plant (3), and subsequent expansion of steam in a turbine (4). The thermal electric heater (2) is switched to supply from a reserve power supply source (6) with reduction of wind-driven power plant (3) capacity to 10% level of exceeded capacity of the thermal electric heater (2). The reserve source of power supply (6) prior to switching to power supply of the thermal electric heater (2) is switched to ballast load. The reserve source of power supply (6) is represented by accumulators of power or power plants on organic fuel.

EFFECT: increased efficiency and reliability of set operation due to elimination of impact of inertia of a reserve power supply source to provide a thermal electric heater of a STU with required amount of power.
