Systems and methods for improved gas turbine engine performance are disclosed. The method can include receiving an error function for a wide range of fuels. The error function can provide lower heating value (LHV) corrections over the wide range of fuels. The method can include receiving gas turbine engine operation data for a first period of run time on the gas turbine from one or more sensors of the gas turbine engine. The engine operation data can include a performance data points. The method can include determining an optimum LHV based on the engine operation data for the first period of run time and the error function. The method can then include adjusting fuel consumption of the gas turbine engine based on the optimum LHV.
