ABSTRACT:
A reheat steam turbine power plant having a boiler with a superheater and reheater disposed therein, a high pressure steam turbine, an intermediate pressure steam turbine, a low pressure turbine, and a condenser condensing a steam exhausted through the low pressure turbine to a condensate. A turbine bypass pipe is provided with a bypass valve. A branch pipe branches off a cold reheater pipe between the check valve and the reheater is connected to the condenser for introducing steam flowing through the turbine bypass pipe. A control valve is arranged in the branch pipe and a controller controls the bypass valve and the control valve. When the turbine bypass line is operational in one of a start-up or an auxiliary operation of the power plant, the control valve and the bypass valve are controlled by the controller so that the quantity of reheat steam introduced into the reheater is controlled and excess or surplus steam is discharged to the condenser through the branch pipe.
