Abstract
A turbine system includes a compressor section, an inlet cooling system coupled upstream of the compressor section and configured to cool ambient air entering the compressor section, and a turbine section coupled in flow communication with the compressor section and including at least one hot gas path component. The system further includes a controller configured to receive feedback parameters indicative of a temperature of the at least one hot gas path component, estimate a remaining life of the at least one hot gas path component based on the received feedback parameters, determine a desired power output of the turbine system based on the estimated remaining life of the at least one hot gas path component and a cooling capacity of the inlet cooling system, and control operation of the turbine system to cause the turbine system to generate the desired power output.
