Abstract
A method and system for controlling a two-shaft turbine engine, the two-shaft turbine engine including a gas producer having a compressor with adjustable inlet guide vanes. The method includes monitoring a rotational speed of the gas producer, maintaining an inlet guide vane angle constant when a rotational speed of the gas producer is below a threshold value, and adjusting an inlet guide vane angle of the compressor at a predetermined rate when the rotational speed of the gas producer is above the threshold value.
