Claim Text:
1. A control system configured to be coupled to at least one component of a gas turbine for use in adapting an operation of the gas turbine, the gas turbine is coupled to a power grid having a standardized frequency, said control system comprises a processor and a memory coupled to said processor, said memory includes processor-executable instructions that, when executed by said processor, cause said control system to: selectively control the at least one component of the gas turbine in response to a sensed frequency of the power grid being one of the standardized frequency and a first frequency; detect a first status of the at least one component of the gas turbine at a first time, wherein the power grid is operating at the standardized frequency during the first time; generate and store a first operating setting for the at least one component based on the first status of the at least one component, the first operating setting for use in response to the first frequency of the power grid that occurs at any time between the first time and a second time, wherein the first frequency is less than the standardized frequency; detect a second status of the at least one component of the gas turbine at the second time that is subsequent to the first time, wherein the power grid is operating at the standardized frequency during the second time, and wherein the second status indicates a reduction in capabilities of the at least one component at the second time relative to at the first time; and generate and store a second operating setting for the at least one component based on the second status of the at least one component, wherein the second operating setting is for use in response to the first frequency of the power grid that occurs after the second time.
