1. A method for monitoring the performance of a system, the method comprising:
defining a benchmark condition for a system, the benchmark condition corresponding to a first set of operating conditions for the system;
operating the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition;
collecting data while operating the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition;
training a model using the collected data, the model is trained to produce a measure of performance of the system operating under the benchmark condition;
applying the trained model to data collected while operating the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition to obtain a current measure of performance of the system under the benchmark condition;
operating the system under another set of operating conditions that do not correspond to the benchmark condition;
returning to operate the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition;
collecting new data while operating the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition;
repeating the steps of operating the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition, collecting new data while operating the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition, applying the trained model to the new data collected while operating the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition, operating the system under another set of operating conditions that do not correspond to the benchmark condition, and returning to operate the system under the first set of operating conditions that correspond to the benchmark condition; and
evaluating an evolution of the current measure of performance of the system under the benchmark condition.
