Abstract

A method for operating a gas and steam turbine system is provided. The system includes a frequency converter which is assigned to a starting device of a gas turbine, and a generator which is assigned to a steam turbine. The intention is to be able to obtain a particularly high level of operational flexibility with particularly low mechanical complexity. For this purpose, the electrical power of the generator is fed into a consumer system via the frequency converter.
