Attemperation systems and methods for cooling steam bypassed from a steam turbine during tripping of the steam turbine are provided in the disclosed embodiments. The systems may be configured to deliver water discharged from a fuel gas heater to a bypass attemperator, where the water discharged from the fuel gas heater may be used to cool the bypass steam. Before being used by the fuel gas heater, the water used to heat the fuel gas may be heated by an economizer. The water may be delivered to the economizer by an intermediate pressure stage of a boiler feedwater pump. In the disclosed embodiments, the intermediate pressure stage of the boiler feedwater pump may also be used to supply water to a re-heater attemperator, which may be used to further cool the steam after it has been delivered from the bypass attemperator to a re-heater. In addition, the intermediate pressure stage of the boiler feedwater pump may deliver water directly to the bypass attemperator as a supplemental water source.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of cooling steam bypassed from a steam turbine, comprising: delivering water from an intermediate pressure stage of a boiler feedwater pump to an economizer; heating the water using the economizer; delivering the water from the economizer to a fuel gas heater;
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of cooling steam bypassed from a steam turbine, comprising: delivering water from an intermediate pressure stage of a boiler feedwater pump to an economizer; heating the water using the economizer; delivering the water from the economizer to a fuel gas heater; transferring heat from the water to a fuel gas via the fuel gas heater, thereby heating the fuel gas and cooling the water; delivering the water from the fuel gas heater to a bypass attemperator; and transferring heat from the steam bypassed from the steam turbine to the water from the fuel gas heater via the bypass attemperator, thereby cooling the steam. 2. The method of claim 1, comprising delivering water directly from the boiler feedwater pump to the bypass attemperator. 3. The method of claim 1, comprising: delivering water from the intermediate pressure stage of the boiler feedwater pump to a re-heater attemperator; and transferring heat from the steam to the water from the intermediate pressure stage of the boiler feedwater pump via the re-heater attemperator, thereby cooling the steam. 4. A method of cooling steam, comprising: delivering water from a fuel gas heater to a bypass attemperator; cooling steam using the bypass attemperator and the water from the fuel gas heater; and activating a pressure control valve during tripping of a steam turbine to prevent water from the fuel gas heater from being delivered to a condenser. 5. The method of claim 4, comprising cooling steam bypassed from the steam turbine during tripping of the steam turbine. 6. The method of claim 4, comprising delivering supplemental water directly from a boiler feedwater pump to the bypass attemperator. 7. The method of claim 4, comprising not delivering water directly from a boiler feedwater pump to the bypass attemperator. 8. The method of claim 4, comprising delivering water from a boiler feedwater pump to the fuel gas heater. 9. The method of claim 8, comprising: delivering water from the boiler feedwater pump to an economizer; heating the water using the economizer; and delivering the heated water from the economizer to the fuel gas heater. 10. The method of claim 9, comprising heating fuel gas using the fuel gas heater and the heated water delivered to the fuel gas heater. 11. The method of claim 8, comprising: delivering water from the boiler feedwater pump to a re-heater attemperator; and cooling the steam using the re-heater attemperator and the water delivered from the boiler feedwater pump. 12. A steam attemperation system, comprising: a fuel gas heater configured to heat fuel gas using heated feedwater and to discharge the water after use in the fuel gas heating process; an economizer configured to heat feedwater and to deliver the heated feedwater to the fuel gas heater; and a bypass attemperator configured to cool steam using the water discharged from the fuel gas heater, wherein the steam has been bypassed from a steam turbine during tripping of the steam turbine. 13. The steam attemperation system of claim 12, comprising a boiler feedwater pump configured to deliver the feedwater to the economizer. 14. The steam attemperation system of claim 13, comprising a re-heater attemperator configured to cool steam from the bypass attemperator. 15. The steam attemperation system of claim 14, wherein the re-heater attemperator uses feedwater from the boiler feedwater pump to cool the steam. 16. The steam attemperation system of claim 13, wherein the boiler feedwater pump is configured to deliver feedwater directly to the bypass attemperator. 17. The steam attemperation system of claim 12, wherein the fuel gas heater is configured to deliver the discharged water to a condenser when the steam turbine is not tripping. 18. The steam attemperation system of claim 12, wherein the bypass attemperator use only water discharged from the fuel gas heater to cool the steam bypassed from the steam turbine during tripping of the steam turbine. 19. A method of cooling steam, comprising: delivering water from a boiler feedwater pump to an economizer; heating the water using the economizer; delivering the heated water from the economizer to a fuel gas heater; delivering water from the fuel gas heater to a bypass attemperator; and cooling steam using the bypass attemperator and the water from the fuel gas heater. 20. A method of cooling steam, comprising: delivering water from a boiler feedwater pump to a fuel gas heater; delivering water from the fuel gas heater to a bypass attemperator; cooling steam using the bypass attemperator and the water delivered to the bypass attemperator from the fuel gas heater; delivering water from the boiler feedwater pump to a re-heater attemperator; and cooling the steam using the re-heater attemperator and the water delivered to the re-heater attemperator from the boiler feedwater pump.
