1. A method for forecasting a start period for a combined cycle power generation system including a gas turbine engine, a steam turbine and a computer control system including a user input and an output device, the method comprising:

  • inputting a desired time at which the combined cycle power generation system is to reach a dispatchable load;

    acquiring a current value of a predetermined operational condition of the combined cycle power generation system;

    the computer control system executing an algorithm which generates a forecasted start time based on the desired time and the current value, wherein the combined cycle power generation system is predicted to be at the dispatchable load at the desired time when started at the forecasted start time, andthe computer system outputting the forecasted start time to the output device.
