Steam re-heating process influence on energy efficiency and losses of two-cylinder steam turbine

The paper presents an energy analysis of steam turbine with two cylinders and steam re-heater between them from conventional thermal power plant. Steam re-heating process is not performed as usual in such power plants but with one part of the steam delivered in re-heater directly from the steam generator. Observed turbine is analyzed in two operating regimes – with and without inclusion of steam re-heater into the turbine operating process. Regardless of all negative energy effects which steam re-heating process brings into the turbine operation, significant positive effect which compensates all the negative ones is notable reduction of moisture in the steam which expands through the low pressure turbine cylinder.
