A method and apparatus for regulating a steam turbine comprising at least one resuperheater arranged between a high pressure section and a low pressure section and in which a reference-actual value comparison of the rotational speed is performed to produce an adjustment signal derived from the reference value actual-value difference which is delivered from the difference between the impeller casing pressure of the high pressure section and the output pressure of the resuperheater which feedback signal is coupled into the regulation circuit opposite to the adjustment signal.

A method and apparatus for regulating a steam turbine comprising at least one resuperheater arranged between a high pressure section and a low pressure section and in which a reference-actual valve comparison of the rotational speed is performed to produce an adjustment signal derived from the reference-value actual-value difference which is delivered to a regulation valve arrangement and wherein a delayed feedback signal is derived from only one vapor pressure high pressure side measuring pressure, between the inlet valves of the high pressure section and the inlet of the resuperheater, and which at least approximately decreases to null during steady-state operation; and said signal is coupled into the regulation circuit opposite to the adjustment signal.

The invention relates to a method (and an apparatus) for controlling a steam turbine of a power station unit that includes a steam turbine and a steam generator, with the output signal of the turbine controller acting on the adjusting mechanism of the turbine inlet valve arrangement. In order with such a method to relieve the turbine controller of those controller output variations that are already evident from the change of the reference inputs, the output signal of the turbine controller has added to it a signal that is computed from the load setpoint of the turbine controller according to the relationship governing the steam turbine ##EQU1## and that is supplied to the summating point in the computed magnitude or weighted by a factor k that deviates from unity.

In a steam turbine used with a power plant operated under variable pressure of the steam which is fed to the turbine through control valves, the control apparatus is arranged to control the control valves according to a signal obtained by adding an opening set signal with a compensation signal which is determined in dependence on a difference between a turbine stage steam pressure signal and a signal derived by multiplying the opening set signal with a ratio of the actual value of the control valve inlet steam pressure to a rated value thereof.

In a method for controlling a steam turbine installation having a reheater (7) arranged between high-pressure turbine (2) and medium-pressure turbine (3) or low-pressure turbine (4), a low-pressure bypass (18) with a low-pressure bypass valve (19) also being present, which bypass leads from the reheater outlet into a condenser (5), a flexible and optimum control with respect to variable high-pressure turbine exhaust steam temperature (T.sub.HD) is achieved in that characteristic curves for the required value of the reheater pressure are used for controlling the low-pressure bypass valve (19) during run-up, during (partial) load rejection procedures or during idling, which characteristic curves depend on the load (L) applied to the installation, and/or on the pressure (P) before the high-pressure turbine blading and/or on the reheater steam flow (M), and also on the high-pressure turbine exhaust steam temperature (T.sub.HD), and/or on the temperature (T.sub.FD) and/or on the pressure (p.sub.FD) of the live steam introduced into the high-pressure turbine, and/or on the reheater pressure (P.sub.2).
