A method for starting-up at least one master train of a stoichiometric exhaust gas recirculation power plant arrangement, comprising the steps of: compressing ambient air into at compressed ambient gas flow with at least one main air compressor; opening a master air injection valve that fluidly connects an inter-train conduit to a master turbine combustor; delivering at least a first portion of the compressed ambient gas flow, with a master compressed ambient gas flow rate, to the master turbine combustor that is fluidly connected to the at least one main air compressor; opening a master exhaust port that is fluidly connected to a master recirculation loop, a master bypass conduit that fluidly connects a master turbine compressor to the master recirculation loop, or a master extraction conduit and is configured to vent the at least one master train; rotating a master turbine shaft connected to the master turbine and to the master turbine compressor at an ignition speed; delivering a master fuel stream, having a master fuel stream flow rate, to the master turbine combustor for mixing with the at least a first portion of the compressed ambient gas flow and with at least a portion of a master recirculated gas flow to form a master combustible mixture; burning the master combustible mixture in the master turbine combustor and thereby forming the master recirculated gas flow and driving the master turbine connected to the master turbine compressor via the master turbine shaft; recirculating the master recirculated gas flow from the master turbine to the master turbine compressor using the master recirculation loop; operating the master turbine at a master target operating speed, and, if necessary, accelerating the master turbine to the master target operating speed by adjusting the master fuel stream flow rate and the master compressed ambient gas flow rate; wherein the step of accelerating the master turbine shaft to the target operating speed further comprises adjusting a master variable bleed valve that is in fluid communication with the main air compressor and that is configured to vent a portion, if any, of the compressed ambient gas flow to the atmosphere; adjusting the master fuel stream flow rate and the master compressed ambient gas flow rate to reach substantial combustion stoichiometry; closing the master exhaust port; and extracting at least a portion of the master recirculated gas flow using a master extraction conduit that is fluidly connected to the master turbine compressor. compressing ambient air into at compressed ambient gas flow with at least one main air compressor; opening a master air injection valve that fluidly connects an inter-train conduit to a master turbine combustor; delivering at least a first portion of the compressed ambient gas flow, with a master compressed ambient gas flow rate, to the master turbine combustor that is fluidly connected to the at least one main air compressor; opening a master exhaust port that is fluidly connected to a master recirculation loop, a master bypass conduit that fluidly connects a master turbine compressor to the master recirculation loop, or a master extraction conduit and is configured to vent the at least one master train; rotating a master turbine shaft connected to the master turbine and to the master turbine compressor at an ignition speed; delivering a master fuel stream, having a master fuel stream flow rate, to the master turbine combustor for mixing with the at least a first portion of the compressed ambient gas flow and with at least a portion of a master recirculated gas flow to form a master combustible mixture; burning the master combustible mixture in the master turbine combustor and thereby forming the master recirculated gas flow and driving the master turbine connected to the master turbine compressor via the master turbine shaft; recirculating the master recirculated gas flow from the master turbine to the master turbine compressor using the master recirculation loop; operating the master turbine at a master target operating speed, and, if necessary, accelerating the master turbine to the master target operating speed by adjusting the master fuel stream flow rate and the master compressed ambient gas flow rate; wherein the step of accelerating the master turbine shaft to the target operating speed further comprises adjusting a master variable bleed valve that is in fluid communication with the main air compressor and that is configured to vent a portion, if any, of the compressed ambient gas flow to the atmosphere; adjusting the master fuel stream flow rate and the master compressed ambient gas flow rate to reach substantial combustion stoichiometry; closing the master exhaust port; and extracting at least a portion of the master recirculated gas flow using a master extraction conduit that is fluidly connected to the master turbine compressor.
