Does anyone have experience with steam flow control valves in supercritical steam cycles?

What types of problems are encountered with the turbine control valves (erosion, vibration, etc.)?

Are there specific issues that arise from their use in supercritical systems compared to subcritical systems?

Thanks,

Lee
