1. A control system for a power production facility, said control system comprising:
a plurality of power generating assets configured to supply power to a power grid; and
a controller coupled in communication with said plurality of power generating assets, said controller configured to:
operate one or more of said plurality of power generating assets according to a setpoint;
receive at least one feedback value corresponding to a feedback parameter, the at least one feedback value representing a measured value associated with the power grid;
determine, based on the received at least one feedback value, to operate in one of a closed-loop mode or an open-loop mode of control, wherein said controller operates in the open-loop mode in response to a difference computed between the setpoint and the at least one feedback value exceeding a threshold difference; and
control the one or more of said plurality of power generating assets in the determined closed-loop mode or the determined open-loop mode.
