Abstract

The invention relates to a method for starting a gas and steam turbine system which comprises a gas turbine system which comprises at least one gas turbine, in addition to at least one steam turbine system which comprises at least one steam turbine and at least one steam system. Heat produced by the working fluid and which is released in the gas turbine is guided to the steam system in order to produce steam which drives the steam turbine. According to the invention, during starting, the gas turbine is started prior to the steam turbine and the steam turbine is started in the presence of the first steam in the system and is impinged upon by said steam.

Claims (18)

1. A method for starting up a gas and steam turbine system having a gas turbine system containing a gas turbine and a steam turbine system containing a steam turbine and a steam system, comprising:

supplying a waste heat of a working medium of the gas turbine to the steam system to produce steam for driving the steam turbine; and

starting up and accelerating the steam turbine when a first steam is present in the steam system via impingement of the first steam upon the turbine;

wherein the first steam is generated in the steam system by the waste heat from the gas turbine,

wherein the steam turbine is started with the first steam at the earliest possible time without waiting for stationary states in the steam system,

wherein during the startup operation the steam system is tuned such that the steam pressure increases continuously, and

wherein the steam system is tuned via at least one steam diverter station of the steam system, and no diverter station leading to a bypassing of the steam turbine is opened in the steam system during the entire system startup.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the gas turbine system experiences an increase in load during the entire system startup, and

wherein the increase in load is maintained until a base load of the gas turbine system has been reached.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 ,

wherein the gas and steam turbine system is switched over into a gas and steam turbine operating mode during the increase in load.

4. A method for starting up a gas and steam turbine system having a gas turbine system containing a gas turbine and a steam turbine system containing a steam turbine and a steam system, comprising:

supplying a waste heat of a working medium of the gas turbine to the steam system to produce steam for driving the steam turbine; and

starting up and accelerating the steam turbine when a first steam is present in the steam system via impingement of the first steam upon the turbine;

wherein the first steam is generated in the steam system by the waste heat from the gas turbine,

wherein the steam turbine is started with the first steam at the earliest possible time without waiting for stationary states in the steam system, and

wherein the steam system is tuned via at least one steam diverter station of the steam system, and the diverter station is only opened enough to bypass a minority of the first steam while a majority of the first steam is supplied to the steam turbine.
