Abstract

A method for operating a steam turbine plant including a steam turbine and a steam generator allows a power reserve to be provided whilst simultaneously maintaining a high level of efficiency in the normal mode of operation. The steam turbine plant includes a heat reservoir which is associated with the steam turbine, from which the steam is removed and is fed to the steam turbine. The steam is fed to the steam turbine when the steam generator is not in operation.
