Abstract
A power generation system includes one or more processors and memory storing instructions that cause the one or more processor to execute a series of steps. That is, the one or more processors receive data indicative of a plurality of inputs associated with the power generation system, such that the plurality of inputs include a flow rate of a valve coupled between an inlet of a compressor in the power generation system and an exhaust of the compressor, where the valve fluidly couples a first fluid exiting the exhaust of the compressor to the inlet of the compressor. Furthermore, the one or more processors determine one or more output parameters of the power generation system based on the plurality of inputs, determine whether the one or more output parameters are within one or more respective threshold values, determine one or more fuel schedule adjustments for the power generation system when the one or more output parameters are outside the one or more respective threshold values; and modify a fuel schedule for providing fuel to a combustor of the power generation system based on the one or more fuel schedule adjustments.
