<p>A method of controlling variable extraction flow in a combustion turbine engine, wherein extraction flow comprises a supply of compressed air extracted from the compressor and supplied to the turbine through extraction conduits, and wherein the extraction conduits includes a variable extraction orifice, the method comprising the steps of: measuring a plurality of turbine engine operating parameters; monitoring, by a control unit, the measured operating parameters of the combustion turbine engine; setting the variable extraction orifices to a setting that allows an approximate maximum level of extraction flow; calculating, by the control unit, at least one calculated operating parameter based upon model-based control and the measured operating parameters, including at least a current turbine inlet temperature and a maximum turbine inlet temperature; and manipulating the setting for the supply of fuel to the combustor such that an increased and/or maximum level of engine output is determined by comparing the values for the current turbine inlet temperature and the maximum turbine inlet temperature.</p> |
