Abstract

A system includes a controller configured to control a heated flow discharged from an outlet of a mixing chamber 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 the mixing chamber. The controller is configured to control at least one of a pressurized flow of the compressor to the mixing chamber and a steam flow to the mixing chamber. The TEG flow is extracted through a turbine casing. The heated flow includes the TEG flow and the at least one of the pressurized flow and the steam flow.
