  • Patent number: 6606366
    Abstract: There is provided a nuclear power plant having a steam turbine controller. The nuclear power plant includes a main steam supply system and a turbine by-pass system. The main steam supply system guides steam from heat generated by the nuclear reactor to a steam turbine. The turbine by-pass system is branched from the main steam supply system at a main steam header. A main steam control valve is equipped with the main steam supply system and adjusts steam pressure in the main steam supply system supplied to the steam turbine. A turbine by-pass valve is used to by-pass steam to the turbine by-pass system. A regulating controller generates first and second opening/closing signals for the main steam control valve and the turbine by-pass valve, and an ON-OFF controller generates a third opening/closing signal for the turbine by-pass valve. The third opening/closing signal has priority over the second opening/closing signal.
