Abstract
System and methods for an electric power generating system are described. In one example, the electric power generating system includes a controller that adjusts a speed of a turbine that is located along a bypass conduit via a regenerative drive in response to a downstream pressure. The electric power generating system also includes a bypass valve that is located along the bypass conduit to control a system pressure when the turbine is not adjusted responsive to the downstream pressure.
