Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plants have become common for generation of electric power due to their high efficiencies. There are various problem related with improving the efficiency of CCGT plants by optimizing the manipulated variables. The method and system for optimizing the operation of a combined cycle gas turbine has been provided. The system is configured to calculate an optimal value of manipulated variables (MV) with efficiency as one of the key performance parameters. The MVs from the existing CCGT automation system, i.e. a first set of manipulated variables and the manipulated variables from the optimization approach, i.e. a second set of manipulated variables are combined to determine an optimal set of manipulated variables. The method further checks for the anomalous behavior of the system and define the root cause of the identified anomaly and the operational state of the CCGT plant.
