Abstract
A system and method for enhancing operation of a power generation system. The method includes receiving forecasts at a predictive control unit. The method also includes accessing via a controller real-time lifing models or near real-time lifing models in the predictive control unit. Additionally, the method includes accessing via the controller an enhancer configured to simulate operation of a power generating unit in the power generation system to generate an enhancement of the power generation system based on the forecasts and the real-time or near real-time lifing models.
