This paper introduces the research progress of steam turbine technology in recent years

and compares it with the domestic technology status and foreign countries

and forecasts the future development goals and research directions. For the moment

thermal power generation is still the mainstream power generation method in China

and steam turbines still occupy a mainstream share in thermal power generating units

and the importance is naturally self-evident. Based on the current rapid consumption of traditional fossil energy and increasing environmental pollution

The current research on energy saving

emission reduction

structural optimization

parameter improvement and advanced manufacturing technology for steam turbines is even more urgent. At present

the output power and working efficiency of steam turbines still have the potential to be further improved. Through the continuous improvement of relevant parameters and the continuous improvement of materials and manufacturing processes

reasonable technical optimization of steam turbines will be realized.
