Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a system and a method for air extraction from gas turbine engines. The disclosed embodiments relate to a system (10) and method (120) that allows air to be extracted from a plurality of gas turbine engines (22, 24, 26) and fed to a downstream process (18), even in situations in which one or more of the gas turbine engines (22, 24, 26) are operating in a part load condition. For example, in an embodiment, a method (120) includes monitoring signals representative of a header pressure of a header (14), or a pressure of extraction air flow from one or more gas turbine engines (22, 24, 26) to the header (14), or both, and maintaining substantially continuous flows of extraction air from the gas turbine engines (22, 24, 26) to the header (14). The substantially continuous flows are maintained when the gas turbine engines (22, 24, 26) are under symmetric and asymmetric load conditions.
