Abstract
Disclosed is a method for operating a gas turbine () comprising a compressor (), which is equipped with variable inlet guide vanes () and receives at its inlet an inlet air flow, which has passed a temperature-affecting air inlet system (), a combustor (') and a turbine (′). In a closed loop control scheme, a control variable indicative of the turbine outlet temperature (TAT) is generated, and the air inlet system () and/or the variable inlet guide vanes () are controlled in accordance with said control variable such that the turbine outlet temperature (TAT) is kept at or above a desired setting value (TAT).
