Steam generating power station, process for operating the same, and interlinking network and process for its operation

An interlocking electrical network in combination with a number of steam generating power plants connected to the interlocking electrical network, comprising:

• steam turbines in the steam generating power plants;
• at least one steam bleeder line each connected to a corresponding one of said steam turbines in at least one of the steam generating power plants, and a valve, built into each of said at least one steam bleeder line;
• a superconducting magnetic accumulator being associated with at least one of the steam generating power plants;
• and
• a control unit for furnishing electrical power directly from said superconducting magnetic accumulator to level a power deficit lasting on the order of several seconds and for adjusting said valve for increasing steam available to said steam turbine in response to said power deficit.

• and a control unit for furnishing electrical power directly from the superconducting magnetic accumulator to level a power deficit lasting on the order of several seconds and for adjusting the valve for increasing steam available to the steam turbine, the process, carried out by said control unit, comprising:
• activating the superconducting magnetic accumulator for feeding into the interlocking network if a power deficit occurs;
• and
• at least approximately simultaneously adjusting an increase in steam available to the steam turbine in one of the steam generating power plants by adjusting said valve in said at least one steam bleeder line.
