One embodiment of the present discloses includes a system. The system includes a turbine and a fluid supply system. The turbine includes a main flow path, a plurality of turbine blades disposed along the main flow path, at least one flow control area disposed along the main flow path, and at least one fluid injection port fluidly coupled to the main flow path. The fluid supply system is fluidly coupled to the at least one fluid injection port, wherein the fluid supply system is configured to supply a fluid to the at least one fluid injection port to adjust an effective area of the at least one flow control area.

System and method for flow control in turbine

The system and method of the invention provide for remotely monitoring the operation of at least one turbine, the turbine being disposed in an operating location. The method comprises inputting input data from the turbine; and processing the input data to generate verified performance data, the processing including determining validity of the input data and performing at least one calculation on the input data, which is valid, to generate the verified performance data. The method further includes generating a collection of stored data in a database based on at least one of the input data and the verified performance data.
