Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and a method are provided that may be used to control the temperature of steam being reheated by a moisture separator reheater (MSR). One embodiment provides a system including a steam turbine, a moisture separator reheater coupled to the steam turbine, and a controller programmed to control a temperature of steam leaving the moisture separator reheater based at least in part on sensor feedback. The controller is programmed to facilitate substantially smooth linear temperature ramping.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a shaft; a main steam source configured to output main steam; a high pressure steam turbine configured to: receive the main steam from the main steam source; and output exhaust steam after using the main steam to rotate the shaft; a moisture separator reheater configured to: receive the main steam from the main steam source; receive the exhaust steam from the high pressure steam turbine; and output thermally enhance…
