Abstract
An integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation system is operated at off-design conditions by introducing a supplemental fuel into the combustion turbine combustor to compensate for deviations from system design conditions. Such deviations include changes in ambient temperature and changes in the amount of extracted air required for the air separation system. The invention allows operation of the combustion turbine at or close to its maximum design power output and other components in the IGCC system at or close to their respective design points.
