Claim One:
1. A method for modeling a gas turbine assembly comprising: providing a controller comprising an operational model configured to tune the gas turbine assembly; generating a plurality of predicted operating parameters using the model of the gas turbine assembly; sensing a plurality of operating parameters during operation of the gas turbine assembly using a plurality of sensors; determining difference values between the plurality of measured operating parameters and the plurality of predicted operating parameters; determining at least one of a missing sensed operating parameter and a corrupt sensed operating parameter of the plurality of sensed operating parameters and generating a synthesized output parameter based on the at least one of a missing sensed operating parameter and a corrupt sensed operating parameter; configuring a Kalman filter, coupled to the controller, based on the synthesized output parameter to generate an adjustment parameter, wherein the adjustment parameter is a weighted ratio between a pair of the measured operating parameters; and applying the adjustment parameter to the model to facilitate adjustment of the model of the turbine assembly during operation of the gas turbine assembly.
