Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system includes a controller configured to receive one or more inputs associated with an operation of a turbine system, derive a set of ramp rates for the turbine system based at least in part on the one or more inputs, and to select a ramp rate from the set of ramp rates. The ramp rate includes a variable ramp rate. The controller is further configured to generate an output signal based on the selected ramp rate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a controller configured to: receive one or more inputs associated with an operation of a gas turbine system; derive a set of ramp rates for the gas turbine system based at least in part on the one or more inputs; select a ramp rate from the set of ramp rates, wherein the ramp rate comprises a variable ramp rate configured to vary over a loading period of the gas turbine system, and wherein the loading period of the gas turbin…
