Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for cold starting a steam turbine by preheating a steam turbine component using eddy currents. The process includes providing an electrically conducting steam turbine component (10), an electro-magnetic coil (18), and a supply of AC to the coil (18). The coil (18) is located relative to the component (10) so that the coil (18) is capable of forming eddy currents in the component (10). In this location, an AC current is passed through the coil thus heating the component (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to methods of cold starting a steam turbine and in particular to the warm-up step of the start-up process. Background technique [0002] Preheating live steam valves is mandatory in ultra-supercritical (USC) pressure power plants to limit the thermal stress on the valve box. [0003] For a typical cold start, the difference between the valve body temperature and the saturation temperature at turbine startup typically exceeds 280°C. Such a large temperature difference limits cold starts. Without preheating, the application of live steam to the valve during cold start-up would lead to rapid condensation heating of the inner surface of the valve and thus high thermal stress. This high stress can significantly reduce the life of the valve. This problem can be overcome by minimizing the difference between the saturated steam temperature and the metal temperature by preheating the valve during cold start. [0004]...
