Embodiment Construction
[0014]The present invention has the technical effect of reducing the start-up time associated with starting a steam turbine. Embodiments of the present invention provide a new methodology for reducing the steam-to-metal temperature mismatch present during the start-up of a steam turbine. Essentially, embodiments of the invention may raise the pressure of the steam upstream of an admission valve associated with a High Pressure (HP) section of a steam turbine. The initial high pressure of the steam may reduce the enthalpy of steam, thus reducing temperature of the steam admitted to the HP section.
[0015]Detailed example embodiments are disclosed herein. However, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely representative for purposes of describing example embodiments. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many alternate forms, and should not be construed as limited to only the embodiments set forth herein.
[0016]Accordingly, while example embodiments...
