A system for a gas turbine includes a control system comprising a processor. The processor is configured to receive a signal indicating spray intercooling fluid demand of the gas turbine. The processor is configured to determine a rate of change of the spray intercooling fluid demand. The processor is configured to control flow of a nitrogen oxide (NOX) minimization fluid that reduces NOX emissions from the gas turbine based at least in part on the rate of change of the spray intercooling fluid demand.
