Abstract: A drilling system including a sensor configured to monitor at least one drilling parameter, and configured to generate a signal based on the at least one drilling parameter. An encoder is in communication with the sensor, and the encoder is configured to convert the signal into a modulation signal. A flow modulator is configured to channel drilling fluid therethrough. The flow modulator includes at least one stator element and a rotor element configured to freely rotate relative to the at least one stator element as the drilling fluid flows past the rotor element. A braking system is in communication with the encoder, and the braking system is configured to selectively decrease a rotational speed of the rotor element based on the modulation signal such that an encoded acoustic signal is emitted from the flow modulator through the drilling fluid.

Abstract: A centrifugal separator for separating a mixed stream including a first fluid and a second fluid. The separator includes a housing that extends from a first end to a second end. A first flow opening is at the first end, a second flow opening is at the second end, and a third flow opening is at the second end. A rotor assembly within the housing includes a rotor shaft and a cylindrical drum. The cylindrical drum includes an interior including an outer radial portion and an inner radial portion. The outer radial portion is in flow communication with the first flow opening and the second flow opening, and the inner radial portion is in flow communication with the third flow opening. The cylindrical drum is rotatable within the housing such that the first fluid flows along the outer radial portion, and such that the second fluid flows along the inner radial portion.

Abstract: A downhole power generation includes a power generation module for providing power to a load. A turbine is driven by flow of a downhole fluid to rotate. A generator is coupled with the turbine for converting rotational energy from the turbine to electrical energy, and an AC-DC rectifier is coupled with the generator for converting an alternating voltage from the generator to a direct voltage. A power conversion circuit couples the AC-DC rectifier with the load. The power conversion circuit is configured for providing a first power to the load when the load is in a working mode and providing a second power to the load when the load is in a non-working mode. The second power is less than the first power. A downhole power generation method is also disclosed.
