1. A method for controlling thermal management systems of a power plant, comprising:
generating, by a high-level controller, tables for a plurality of power module completes (PMCs) of the power plant, wherein revolutions per minute (RPM) values of a coolant supply pump (CSP) that correspond to coolant temperatures are recorded in the tables;
distributing, by the high-level controller, the generated tables to the corresponding PMCs of the plurality of PMCs; and
operating, by the high-level controller, the thermal management systems by operating controllers of the plurality of PMCs, based on the distributed tables;
wherein the operating of the thermal management systems includes operating, by the high-level controller, the thermal management systems by operating controllers of the plurality of PMCs based on different cooling line lengths.
