Steam turbines have a protection of reverse power to avoid heating of turbine blades in case prime mover is not sufficient to produce that much power to achieve synch speed or for the loss of steam supply turbine blades heat up. My question is how can steam cool the turbine blades? Because we always apply steam of temperature more than 1000 degree F and pressure more than 1500 PSI. This is so much of heat and if we remove that why blades heat up?
