Abstract
The invention relates to a steam turbine having a plurality of stages comprising a plurality of points of admission connected to a plurality of admission lines, a feed line connected to the plurality of admission lines and at least one extraction line, extending from an intermediate stage of the steam turbine, for extracting steam from the steam turbine. The at least one capacity line fluidly connects an admission lines and at least one extraction line so as to bypass the steam turbine, and is further configured to increase a swallowing capacity of the steam turbine as measured from the feed line upstream of the capacity line compared to the plurality of points of admission.
