A system for controlling a subplant comprising one or more assets includes one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including generating a design curve for a first asset included in the subplant based on an asset model, the design curve comprising a plurality of data points that define an operation of the first asset, obtaining operational data for the first asset, determining a degradation factor for the first asset by comparing the design curve and the operational data, generating an operational curve for the first asset by derating the design curve based on the degradation factor, and operating the subplant based on the operational curve.
