Patent ID: 8387388

Claim:
A method for increasing a steam mass flow in a high-pressure steam turbine of a steam power station during a starting-up phase of the steam power station, comprising: providing the steam power station comprising a boiler, a high-pressure turbine, a medium-pressure turbine, a low-pressure turbine, and a generator; connecting a bypass line around the high-pressure turbine; arranging a high-pressure bypass station in the bypass line whereby when the power station is in the starting up phase and the boiler is operating in a minimum load, the steam produced bypasses the high-pressure turbine in the bypass line via a high-pressure bypass station and supplied to an intermediate superheating within the boiler; connecting a supporting line from a feed-water container to the intermediate superheating; connecting an electrical load to a generator of the steam power station; and synchronizing the generator to an electrical power supply network after the connection of the electrical load, wherein the electrical load is arranged in the feed-water container of the steam power station.
