1. A method for controlling and modeling a turbine, comprising: modeling the turbine by a primary adaptive turbine model comprising at least one primary operating parameter; modeling the turbine by an alternate adaptive turbine model comprising at least one alternate operating parameter; determining a first output value from the primary adaptive turbine model that is associated at least in part with operation of the turbine based on a primary control strategy; adjusting the at least one alternate operating parameter based on an alternate control strategy and based at least in part on the first output value; and determining comparison data based at least in part on a comparison between the primary control strategy and the alternate control strategy.
