An embodiment of an engine assembly includes a combustion turbine engine having at least a first compressor spool, a first turbine spool, a first shaft connecting the first compressor spool and the first turbine spool, and a combustor disposed in a working gas flow path between the first compressor spool and the first turbine spool. A first controller is programmed with a surge map, and configured to operate the combustion turbine engine in a range extending between a first suppressed idle mode, a second base idle mode, and a maximum takeoff power rating mode. An idle speed suppressor includes at least one idle assist motor connected to the first shaft of the combustion turbine engine. A second controller is configured to manage operation of the idle speed suppressor relative to the combustion turbine engine during times of minimum power demand, such that operating the idle speed suppressor increases a compressor speed in the first suppressed idle mode relative to a compressor speed in the second base idle mode.
