1. A system for monitoring the performance of a gas turbine under service, comprising:

  • a. a memory element containing a database of parameter information from comparable gas turbines;

    b. an input device, wherein the input device generates a unit data signal containing parameter information from the gas turbine under service and a risk signal containing a risk value for the gas turbine under service;

    c. a processor in communication with the memory element and the input device, wherein the processor incorporates the unit data signal into the database of parameter information from comparable gas turbines, projects parameter information for the gas turbine under service, and calculates a conditional risk that the projected parameter information for the gas turbine under service will reach a predetermined parameter limit; and

    d. an output signal generated by the processor, wherein the output signal includes at least one of repair or maintenance scheduling information.
