Claim One:
1. A system, comprising: a memory storing a turbomachinery degradation model configured to model degradation of a turbomachinery over time; and a controller communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to control the turbomachinery based on a feedback signal and the turbomachinery degradation model, wherein the turbomachinery degradation model comprises a physics-based model that simulates physics of the turbomachinery and is configured to predict a loss of efficiency for the turbomachinery, and the turbomachinery degradation model is configured to use a target power to derive a control parameter by estimating a modeled power of the turbomachinery, and wherein the controller is configured to use the control parameter to control the turbomachinery, wherein the target power comprises a selected desired power to be produced by the turbomachinery.
