What is the relationship between heating plans and steam balance?

I saw a sentence that says, “Select the heating scheme based on thermal parameters and steam balance.” What is the relationship between the heating scheme and steam balance?
Your concept should be a power plant boiler + external heating approach. In a pure power plant, the steam generated is used to drive turbines to produce electricity; after performing work, the turbines produce condensate, which can be reused after being reprocessed. Overall, there is a basic balance between steam and water. But if heat is supplied from the outside, with steam being provided to others, the condensate basically doesn’t return, and water is lost in this process. For power plants, it is necessary to increase the water production capacity; otherwise, only heating solutions can be considered, as the plant cannot operate properly when there is a severe imbalance between steam and water.
