Abstract
A boiler plant, comprising at least a first boiler and a second boiler. The first boiler comprises a first superheater and a first reheater for generation and heating of steam. The second boiler comprises a second superheater and a second reheater for generation and heating of steam. A first high-pressure turbine is driven by steam generated by the first superheater and fed to the first high-pressure turbine. The steam is delivered to the first reheater after having been expanded in the first high-pressure turbine. A second high-pressure turbine is driven by steam generated by the second superheater and fed to the second high-pressure turbine. The steam is delivered to the second reheater after having been expanded in the second high-pressure turbine. An intermediate-pressure/low-pressure turbine is driven by reheated steam generated by the first and second reheaters fed to the intermediate-pressure/low-pressure turbine. At least one electric generator is operated by the first and the second high pressure turbines and the intermediate-pressure/low-pressure turbine.
