  • Plant control apparatus, plant control method and power plant
    Patent number: 11274573
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a plant control apparatus controls a power plant. The plant includes a gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine, an exhaust heat recovering boiler to generate first steam by using heat of exhaust gas from the gas turbine, a first steam turbine driven by the first steam, a reheater provided in the boiler and configured to heat exhaust steam from the first steam turbine by the exhaust gas to generate reheat steam, and a second steam turbine driven by the reheat steam. The apparatus includes a first warming-up module to supply second steam from equipment different from the boiler to the first steam turbine to warm up this turbine, before this turbine is started. The apparatus further includes a second warming-up module to supply the second steam to the reheater to warm up the reheater, before the first steam turbine is started.
