A unique and useful dynamic control system for the control of a catalytic combustion system for use on a dynamic plant, preferably, a gas turbine engi ne (14). The dynamic control system facilitates the replacement of conventional flame combustion systems with catalytic combustion systems. A method of controlling the catalytic combustion process comprises the steps of calculating a mass flow of air introduced into the combustor, monitoring a flow of fuel to be combusted within the combusto r (32), monitoring a temperature of the air introduced into the combustor (32), calculating an inlet temperature set point based on the mass flow and fuel flow, and controlling a preburner (54) to heat the air based on the inlet temperature set point, the mass flow , and the temperature of the air. Further, the mass flow may be estimated based on ambient air temperature and pressure, and compressor (20) speed. A catalytic combustion gas turbine system is also presented, the operation of which is controlled by a dynamic plant controller (34) which generates a fuel flow rate demand signal to control th e flow of fuel to be combusted in response to dynamic plant demands.
