Claim:
1. A gas engine assembly, comprising: a compressor configured to receive a gas from a first gas supply line and to compress the gas; a combustion system configured to receive the gas from the compressor via a second gas supply line and to combust the gas and a fuel; a bypass line having one end connected to the first gas supply line and an opposite end connected to the second gas supply line to divert a portion of the gas less than all of the gas from one of the first and second gas supply lines to the other of the first and second gas supply lines; and a control system configured to control gas supply parameters based on a transportation delay value, the transportation delay value corresponding to a delay between a time when a gas supply control mechanism is adjusted and a time that gas having a corresponding adjustment of a gas characteristic is received at a predetermined point downstream from the gas supply control mechanism, wherein the control system is configured to calculate the transportation delay value by determining a concentration of the gas along at least the second gas supply line over time.
