Abstract
A system and method for controlling the performance of a gas turbine system is provided. A backflow margin pressure ratio for a component is determined. A modified backflow margin pressure ratio for the component is calculated based on the number of fired hours and starts. Bleed air along a first flow path is controlled based on the modified backflow margin pressure ratio.
