A system includes a hybrid power plant controller programmed to receive a plurality of signals representative of one or more operating parameters of a hybrid power plant. The hybrid power plant includes at least one gas turbine engine, at least one gas engine, and at least one catalyst system. The hybrid power plant controller is programmed to utilize closed-loop optimal control to generate one or more operational setpoints based on the one or more operating parameters for the hybrid power plant to optimize performance of the hybrid power plant. The hybrid power plant controller uses closed-loop optimal control to provide the one or more operational setpoints to respective controllers of the at least one gas turbine engine, the at least one gas engine, and the at least one catalyst system to control operation of the gas turbine engine, the gas engine, and the catalyst system. |
