  • Some embodiments provide steam by means of the heat released in the exothermic chemical reaction.
  • the steam for keeping the power plant warm can thus have a temperature of 250° C. and thus be heated, for example, in the manner described from a temperature to 250° C. or from 250° C. to an even higher temperature.
  • the steam for keeping the power plant warm has, for example, a mass flow of 1.4 kg/s to 5 kg/s and a pressure of 5 bar.
  • heat is transferred from the steam generated by means of the heat released in the backward reaction to the power plant or to components of the power plant such that the steam cools down, for example, from 250° C. to a comparably lower temperature, in particular 150° C.
  • the steam by means of which at least part of the power plant is kept warm or heated up has a temperature of 250° C.
  • the part of the power plant which is to be kept warm is supplied to the steam for keeping the power plant warm such that heat can be transferred from the steam for keeping the power plant warm to the power plant or to the part of the power plant which is to be kept warm.
  • the steam for keeping the part of the power plant warm is cooled such that the temperature of the steam falls, for example, from 250° C. to 150° C.
  • the steam then has a very high temperature such that heat which is contained in the steam for keeping at least the part of the power plant warm may be used for other purposes.
  • a spatial separation of the educts of the forward reaction from the diverted steam can be achieved such that the diverted steam does not directly contact the educts of the forward reaction.
  • the diverted steam directly contacts and thus flows onto or around the educts of the forward reaction.
  • the medium directly contacts and thus flows onto or around the educts and/or products of the backward reaction. There is then, for example, no need for the heat exchanger 44 .
  • heat which is already available can be stored efficiently and effectively by using the endothermic reaction.
  • the stored steam can be used effectively and efficiently, in particular at a later point in time, in order to heat up or keep warm a part of the power plant.
