Method for controlling steam admission into a steam turbine, the turbine comprising a high pressure casing, at least one reduced pressure casing and an admission steam control system, the high pressure casing and at least one reduced pressure casing comprising control valves for steam admission. The steam admission control system manages the following steps: determining at least one of the speed and the acceleration of the turbine; comparing the determined speed and/or acceleration respectively with a predefined speed threshold value and a predefined acceleration threshold value; when the determined speed and/or acceleration are superior to the predefined threshold value, the control system activates a speed and acceleration limiter.

A steam power cycle thermoelectric decoupling system includes a molten salt heat storage system, a steam accumulator heat storage system, and a preheating system. The steam accumulator heat storage system is taken as a main heat storage component, which solves low heat storage efficiency and high heat storage costs by simply using molten salt. Saturated steam released by the steam accumulator heat storage system is heated to a superheated state by heat stored in the molten salt heat storage system, achieving supplement of the saturated steam released by the steam accumulator heat storage system to the heat supply network, and the preheating system is utilized for solving the problem that the temperature of steam output from the steam accumulator heat storage system is lower than the solidifying point temperature of the molten salt, causing the solidification of molten salt.
