Morphology
The meaning ('the ability of a system to perform') is directly derivable from combining 'performance' (operation quality) with 'capability' (ability), so the compound denotes an ability related to performance. Although somewhat technical, this noun–noun composition follows regular, compositional patterns and would be predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Performance capability combines performance (how well something does a job) and capability (what it can do). Imagine a machine being tested to show what it can do, so performance capability means the 'ability' of a system to work as it is meant to.
