Abstract:
A method for regulating the power of a turbo set converting thermal power into electric power, said turbo set comprising, on a shaft, a first turbine driven by the thermal power and a generator driven by the first turbine and delivering electric power (P.sub.G) to a network, in which method the electric power (P.sub.G) delivered by the generator is determined and the thermal power (P.sub.T) for the firs turbine is regulated as a function of the measured electric power (P.sub.G), wherein, in addition, the kinetic power (P.sub.kin) consumed or delivered by the shaft is determined, and wherein the thermal power (P.sub.T) is regulated in accordance with the sum of the electric power (P.sub.G) and kinetic power (P.sub.kin).
