A valve control system for a steam turbine that decrease in effective power as well as secure control stability in the event of an electric power system accident is provided. A valve control system for a steam turbine includes an accident detection unit 44 which detects an occurrence of an electric power system accident, a first selection unit 45 which selects, from a plurality of control valves 13 (13a˜13d) which adjust a volume of steam flowing into a steam turbine, control valves 13 to be rapidly closed according to a scale of the accident detected, and a normal control circuit 11 which continues normal pressure or speed control by the control valves 13 which are not selected.

1. A valve control system for a steam turbine comprising: circuitry configured todetect an occurrence of an electric power system accident;select, from a plurality of control valves which adjust a volume of steam flowing into a steam turbine, individual ones of the plurality of control valves to be rapidly closed at a same closing time such that a number of the control valves to be rapidly closed corresponds to a scale of the accident detected;select, from turbine bypass valves which allow an excess portion of the volume of steam to bypass the turbine, individual ones of the plurality of turbine bypass valves to be rapidly opened at a same opening time such that a capacity of the turbine bypass values to be rapidly opened corresponds to a capacity of the control valves which are rapidly closed; andclosing the selected control valves to by rapidly closed and opening the selected turbine bypass valves to be rapidly opened,while continuing normal pressure or speed control by the control valves and the turbine bypass valves which are not selected, to maintain stability of the steam turbine. 2. The valve control system for a steam turbine according to claim 1, wherein, when the electric power system has recovered from the accident and all the control valves and the turbine bypass valves are to be brought back under normal control, the turbine bypass valves are shifted from an open state to a closed state in synchronization with the control valves shifting from a closed state to an open state. 3. The valve control system for a steam turbine according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to, when the electric power system has recovered from the accident and all the control valves and the turbine bypass valves are to be brought back under normal control, correct valve opening position of the turbine bypass valves which are shifting from an open state to a closed state, according to valve opening position of the control valves which are shifting from a closed state to an open state. 4. The valve control system for a steam turbine according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to, when the electric power system has recovered from the accident and all the control valves and the turbine bypass valves are to be brought back under normal control, hold valve opening position of the control valves which are shifting from a closed state to an open state, according to valve opening position of the control valves which are not selected. 5. A valve control method for a steam turbine comprising the steps of: detecting an occurrence of an electric power system accident;selecting, from control valves which adjust a volume of steam flowing into a steam turbine, individual ones of the plurality of control valves to be rapidly closed at a same closing time such that a number of the control valves to be rapidly closed corresponds a scale of the accident detected;selecting, from turbine bypass valves which allow an excess portion of the volume of steam to bypass the turbine, individual ones of the plurality of turbine bypass valves to be rapidly opened at a same opening time such that a capacity of the turbine bypass values to be rapidly opened corresponds to a capacity of the control valves which are rapidly closed; andclosing the selected control valves to be rapidly closed and opening the selected turbine bypass valves to be rapidly opened,while continuing normal pressure or speed control by the control valves and the turbine bypass valves which are not selected, to maintain stability of the steam turbine.
