  • the heat source adopts an external heat source independent of a system of the power plant according to the present embodiment, such as a solar concentrator which adopts a heliostat, and a boiler using fossil fuels or biomass fuels, for example.
  • the remaining steam whose moisture is separated in the moisture separator 71 is introduced into the steam turbine 72 as the working fluid for the steam turbine 72, and the steam heated by the heat exchanger 74 is supplied to the steam turbine 72 as the working fluid of the steam turbine 72.
  • the heat source of the heat exchanger 74 it is possible to adopt an external heat source which is not steam ejected from the production well W1. In this manner, according to the power plant, it is possible to increase the holding heat capacity of the steam serving as the working fluid introduced into the steam turbine 72 as the working fluid. Therefore, thermal efficiency of the steam turbine is improved.
  • the present invention relates to a moisture separation facility for separating moisture from steam serving as a working fluid of a steam turbine, a power plant including the facility, and a method for operating a steam turbine.
  • the present invention it is possible to contribute to improving thermal efficiency of the steam turbine by increasing holding heat capacity of a working fluid introduced into the steam turbine as a working fluid, and it is possible to consequently improve power generation efficiency of the power plant.
