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 is configured to generate parameter information from the gas turbine under service and 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 is configured to incorporate the parameter information from the gas turbine under service into the database of parameter information from comparable gas turbines, project parameter information for the gas turbine under service, and calculate a conditional risk that the projected parameter information for the gas turbine under service will reach a predetermined parameter limit; and

    d. wherein the processor is configured to generate at least one of repair or maintenance scheduling information.
