A method to provide Primary Frequency Regulation to a steam turbine in a combined cycle plant that comprises storing energy in the form of internal energy of the steam contained within the piping and domes of the heat recovery boilers, and then using said energy when the power grid requires a sudden increase in output power. With the present method, the losses in power generation of the steam turbine, when said turbine is operating in the Primary Frequency Regulation mode, are reduced to a minimum. When the gas turbines in a combined cycle plant operate in PFR mode, the steam turbine reduces its output power because the gas turbines must operate below their rated power. The present method converts said decrease in output power of the steam turbine in a Spinning Reserve useful for PFR in said turbine. That is to say that the present method converts said Spinning Reserve in a rapid reserve, available after just a few seconds; if necessary, response times of less than 10 seconds can be attained. The present method introduces several novel steps, which constitute its essence, said steps permitting the continuous, long term operation of the steam turbine in a combined cycle plant in PFR mode, thereby ensuring at any time the effectiveness of mains frequency regulation and also guaranteeing the stability of the power generation process in said combined cycle plant.

A method of constructing an exhaust heat recovery boiler. A required number of heat transfer tube group panel modules (20) are produced in an appropriate size according to design specifications of HRSG, where the heat transfer tube group panel modules (20) each have a large number of heat transfer tubes (6), heat transfer tube group panels (23) constituted of upper and lower collection tubes (7, 8) for the heat transfer tubes (6), a casing (1) for the heat transfer tube group panels (23), heat transfer tube group panel supporting beams (22) provided outside a ceiling wall portion of the casing (1), and a vertical and horizontal module frames (24, 25) provided outside the casing (1). Main frames for supporting the modules (20), including main pillars (33), main beams (34), and bottom wall portion pillars (36), are constructed in advance in a construction site of the heat recovery boiler (HRSG). Each module (20) is transported to the construction site and lowered by a crane (42) into between adjacent main pillars (33). Supporting beams (22) of each module (20) are placed at the height of installation of the main beam (34). Then the horizontal module frames (25), the main beams (34), and the bottom wall portion pillars (36) are connected and fixed, and the vertical module frames (24) and the main pillars (33) are connected and fixed.
