Abstract
The invention provides a method for operating a power generating assembly which assembly comprises a steam generator and a turbine, and said method comprises controlling the quantity of heat released by the steam generator by a signal which is representative of the difference between the predicted stresses which will exist at the instant to+T on that part of the turbine which undergoes the greatest thermal stress and the maximum permissible stress on this same part at the same instant, to being the present instant and T being a period of time close to the time constant of the power production assembly.
