Abstract
A method of controlling a transition time through a speed range that is unsafe for an integrity of a second expander that receives a fluid flow from a first expander, by automatically biasing a speed of the second expander is provided. The method includes setting the speed of the second expander to be smaller than a current speed of the first expander. The method also includes setting the speed of the second expander to be larger than the current speed of the first expander, when the current speed of the first expander is within the bias application range, and the current speed of the second expander increases and is larger than the first speed value, or decreases and is larger than the second speed value.
