Claim 8:
9. A distributed control system comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing code for restarting a turbomachine, comprising instructions for:
determining whether the turbomachine has been shutdown greater than a first predetermined duration;
in response to determining the turbomachine has been offline greater than the first predetermined duration, determining whether a first forward wheelspace (FFWS) temperature is greater than a predetermined FFWS temperature threshold;
in response to the FFWS temperature being greater than the predetermined FFWS temperature threshold, determining whether a compressor discharge temperature (CTD) of the turbomachine is greater than a predetermined compressor temperature threshold;
in response to CTD being less than the predetermined compressor temperature threshold, determining whether a restart lockout is activated; and
in response to the restart lockout not being activated, allowing restart of the turbomachine.
