Abstract: A method for flexibly operating a nuclear power plant with a waste heat steam generator that operates according to the forced-flow principle and that has heating surfaces of different stages of the waste heat steam generator, the heating surfaces being arranged in the flue gas channel, is provided. In order to increase the output, a mass flow of the feedwater flowing through the heating surfaces is increased while almost simultaneously activating a supplementary firing arranged in the flue gas channel of the waste heat steam generator.

Abstract: A method for operating a directly heated, solar-thermal steam generator is provided. As per the method, a nominal value {dot over (M)}s for the supply water mass flow {dot over (M)} is conducted to an apparatus for adjusting the supply water mass flow {dot over (M)} wherein, at the adjustment of the nominal value {dot over (M)}s for the supply water mass flow {dot over (M)}, account is taken of a correction value KT, by which the thermal effects of storage or withdrawal of thermal energy in an evaporator are corrected.

As per the method, a nominal value Ms for the supply water mass flow M is conducted to an apparatus for adjusting the supply water mass flow M wherein, at the adjustment of the nominal value Ms for the supply water mass flow M, account is taken of a correction value KT, by which the thermal effects of storage or withdrawal of thermal energy in an evaporator are corrected.

Abstract: A continuous evaporator for a horizontally constructed waste heat steam generator is provided. The continuous evaporator includes a first evaporator heating surface having a plurality of essentially vertically arranged first steam generator tubes through which a flow medium may flow from bottom to top, and another second evaporator heating surface which is mounted downstream of the first evaporator heating surface on the flow medium side. The second evaporator heating surface includes a plurality of additional essentially vertically arranged second steam generator tubes through which a flow medium may flow from bottom to top. An aperature system is arranged downstream of the second steam generator tubes on the flow medium side.

The second evaporator heating surface includes a plurality of additional essentially vertically arranged second steam generator tubes through which a flow medium can flow from bottom to top. The first steam generator tubes are designed in such a manner that the average mass flow density which may be controlled in the full load operation does not fall below the predetermined minimum mass flow density in the first steam generator tubes.
