METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRIC POWER STATION AND A THERMAL POWER STATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling the thermodynamic cycle of a thermal power plant that generates electricity, said method comprising the following steps: a step comprising the detection (S1) of a temporary excess electrical power requirement; in response to said detection, thermodynamic cycle-control means enter a power release phase (S2) in which the means for regulating an extraction flow rate of working fluid towards the feed cistern reduce the flow rate in order to increase electricity generation, the level of working fluid in the feed cistern being managed such that it stays above a low level; and the power release phase (S2) is followed by a restoration phase (S3, S5) in which the restoration of the working fluid level in the feed cistern to a level above a threshold level is controlled by the regulation means.
