A control system is provided. The control system includes at least one sensor (204) that is positioned within a turbine engine and is configured to detect at least one first operating parameter therein. A controller (214) is coupled to the sensor. The controller (214) is configured to receive at least one second operating parameter of the turbine engine. Moreover, the controller (214) is configured to control a flow of a fluid to a rotor assembly within the turbine engine such that at least one of the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter is less than at least one threshold value.
