Abstract: A method includes instructing a gas control valve to open to a first position, thereby sending fuel to a respective fuel circuit at a first flow rate, based on a first relationship between flow rate and a first set of operating parameters. The method also includes instructing the gas control valve to open to a second position, thereby adjusting the first flow rate of the fuel to the respective fuel circuit to a second flow rate, based on a set of output parameters. The method further includes determining a second relationship between adjusting the first flow rate and a second set of operating parameters. The method also includes instructing the gas control valve to open a third position, thereby sending the fuel to the respective fuel circuit at a third flow rate, based on the first relationship and the second relationship.

Abstract: Presented herein are turbine machines, turbine control systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for controlling turbines including a compressor, a combustion system, and a turbine section comprising a turbine operating at an initial turbine output while using initial parameter values for the respective control parameters of the turbine. The techniques involve, for respective selected control parameters, selecting an adjustment of the initial parameter value of the selected control parameter, and predicting a predicted turbine output of the turbine operated using the adjustment of the selected control parameter and the initial parameter values for other control parameters; comparing the predicted turbine outputs for the adjustments of the respective control parameters to select, from the control parameters, a target control parameter having a target adjustment that results in the target turbine output; and operating the turbine with the target adjustment of the target control parameter.
