Abstract

This paper evaluates efficiency of steam turbines with bypass steam distribution involved in a process of primary frequency control in power systems. We calculated power of a steam turbine and power unit in general, and absolute electrical efficiency for both bypass and throttle steam distribution. It was found that bypass steam distribution increases absolute electrical efficiency of steam-gas units while operation under lower capacity. Economic indicators calculated for combined cycle gas units confirm effectiveness of steam turbines with bypass steam distribution involved in primary frequency control.
