Does any one one a rule of thumb or method to derate the power on Roll Royce Gas Fired Power Turbines?

I have a RR 501KC7 that Id like to Derate under 128 ft of elevation and 90F. The manufactured rated Horsepower is 7200.

Any feedback will help.

Thank You .
 
Did you call your Rolls support team?

(By the way, be explicit about both the maximum and minimum actual air pressures and air temperatures! 128 foot "elevation" implies a ground level of 128 feet above sea level, right? But humidity, air temps, spray water (if any), and inlet filter design are going to be more important.)
