Abstract
A method () of controlling an imbalance response in a power plant comprising first and second gas turbine engines and a steam turbine driven by steam generated by exhaust from the first and second gas turbine engines can comprise operating the first gas turbine engine at a first power output (A), operating the second gas turbine engine at a second power output (B), monitoring load demand from a power grid operating at a steady state condition (), detecting a load imbalance on the power grid () that causes a deviation from the steady state condition, and adjusting the first power output and the second power output incongruently () during the imbalance response to change the first power output and the second power output to match the deviation from the steady state condition depending on contemporaneous efficiency states of the first and second gas turbine engines.
