The control system starts, stops, modulates, and limits water supplied to the supersaturating system based on the humidity or dew-point temperature of the ambient air, dry-bulb temperature of the ambient air, compressor inlet air flow, and gas turbine parameters indicating operation at or near maximum output. | |
