Abstract

A system includes a controller configured to control a heated flow discharged from an outlet of an eductor to an inlet control system to control a temperature of an intake flow through a compressor inlet of a compressor of a gas turbine system. The controller is configured to control a turbine extraction gas (TEG) flow to a motive inlet of the eductor. The controller is configured to control a suction flow to a suction inlet of the eductor. The TEG flow is extracted through a turbine casing, and the heated flow includes the TEG flow and the suction flow.
