Zusammenfassung:A turbine system (100) includes a compressor section (104), an inlet cooling system (122) coupled upstream of the compressor section (104) and configured to cool ambient air entering the compressor section (104), and a turbine section (108) coupled in flow communication with the compressor section (104) and including at least one hot gas path component (140). The system further includes a controller (144) configured to receive feedback parameters indicative of a temperature of the at least one hot gas path component (140), estimate a remaining life of the at least one hot gas path component (140) based on the received feedback parameters, determine a desired power output of the turbine system (100) based on the estimated remaining life of the at least one hot gas path component (140) and a cooling capacity of the inlet cooling system (122), and control operation of the turbine system (100) to cause the turbine system (100) to generate the desired power output.
