The control method of the cogeneration system is set as follows:
1. the input of the fuel quantity control is the sum of the power generation load corresponding to the power generation load deviation and the change of the steam extraction heat source.
2. The input of the steam extraction heat source control is the power generation load deviation.

4. The input to the steam turbine control is the deviation of the main steam pressure command from the actual main steam pressure.
In the above strategy, the power generation load corresponding to the change of the extraction heat source is obtained by multiplying the extraction heat source deviation by a gain coefficient k, where k is represented by the following formula:
