Abstract

A start-up method of a steam turbine plant includes a first step and a second step. The first step is performed at an aeration start time. In the first step, a reheat steam pressure of an aeration boiler is set to be a reheat steam pressure required by a steam turbine or less. Besides, a reheat steam pressure of a standby boiler is set to be a reheat steam pressure required for the standby boiler or more. The second step is performed when a load of the steam turbine becomes a predetermined value. In the second step, the reheat steam pressure of the aeration boiler is increased to the same degree as the reheat steam pressure of the standby boiler. After that, steam from the aeration boiler and steam from the standby boiler are merged to be supplied to the steam turbine.

Claims (25)

1. A start-up method of a steam turbine plant comprising

a steam turbine including a high-pressure turbine and an intermediate-pressure turbine; and

plural boilers each including a superheater which supplies high-pressure steam to the high-pressure turbine and a reheater which reheats exhaust steam of the high-pressure turbine and supplies the reheat steam to the intermediate-pressure turbine, the plural boilers including an aeration boiler and a standby boiler,

the start-up method of the steam turbine plant comprising:

at start time, a first step including:

supplying steam to the steam turbine from the aeration boiler without supplying the steam to the steam turbine from the standby boiler;

controlling a reheat steam pressure of the aeration boiler to be a reheat steam pressure required by the steam turbine or less; and

controlling a reheat steam pressure of the standby boiler to be a reheat steam pressure required for the standby boiler or more, and

after the start time and when a load of the steam turbine becomes a predetermined value, a second step including:

increasing the reheat steam pressure of the aeration boiler to the same degree as the reheat steam pressure of the standby boiler;

merging the steam from the aeration boiler and the steam from the standby boiler; and

supplying the merged steam to the steam turbine.

2. A start-up method of a steam turbine plant comprising

a steam turbine including a high-pressure turbine and an intermediate-pressure turbine; and

plural boilers each including a superheater which supplies high-pressure steam to the high-pressure turbine and a reheater which reheats exhaust steam of the high-pressure turbine and supplies the reheat steam to the intermediate-pressure turbine, the plural boilers including an aeration boiler and a standby boiler,

the start-up method of the steam turbine plant comprising:

at start time, a first step including:

supplying steam to the steam turbine from the aeration boiler without supplying the steam to the steam turbine from the standby boiler; and

controlling each of reheat steam pressures of the aeration boiler and the standby boiler to be a reheat steam pressure required by the steam turbine or less independently, and

after the start time and when a load of the steam turbine becomes a predetermined value, a second step including:

increasing the reheat steam pressures of the aeration boiler and the standby boiler to a reheat steam pressure required for each boiler or more while setting the reheat steam pressures of both to be the reheat steam pressures at the same degree with each other;

merging the steam from the aeration boiler and the steam from the standby boiler; and

supplying the merged steam to the steam turbine.

3. The start-up method of the steam turbine plant of claim 1 , wherein the start time includes a time when the steam is first supplied to the steam turbine for starting-up the steam turbine plant.

4. The start-up method of the steam turbine plant of claim 2 , wherein the start time includes a time when the steam is first supplied to the steam turbine for starting-up the steam turbine plant.
