Since the plant is to be restarted on daily basis , The one option is to install fin fan coolers so that excess steam during low demand or no demand can be converted in to condensate & can be recycled to boilers. Install a temperature control valve on dowstream of fin fan cooler to control the flow based on excess steam flowing in to the fin fan cooler
