Controlling the startup modes of cogeneration steam turbines operating as part of combined-cycle power plants

The results obtained from investigations of combined-cycle power plants produced by the Ural Turbine Works aimed at achieving high maneuverability, reliability and longevity of cogeneration steam turbines taking into consideration the possibilities of modern automated process control systems are presented. The dynamic models for simulating the heating of a steam turbine cylinder??s parts with the use of limited computation capacities are developed.
