ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling a load of a gas turbine engine that is part of an integrated gasification combined-cycle power generation system, which includes an air separation unit, that includes the steps of: (1) extracting an amount of compressed air that is compressed by a turbine compressor; (2) supplying the extracted amount of compressed air to the air separation unit; and (3) varying the amount of compressed air extracted from the turbine compressor based upon a desired load for the gas turbine engine.
