A technique facilitates temporary plugging of a well string via a ball seat assembly which may be actuated on demand. The ball seat assembly includes a ball seat mechanism which works in cooperation with an on-demand assembly actuated via a pattern of pressure changes applied within the ball seat assembly. The on-demand assembly is constructed such that the pattern of pressure changes enables shifting of the ball seat mechanism to a ball release position. However, the ball seat mechanism is not able to function until the desired pattern of pressure changes is completed. Additionally, the on-demand assembly may be structured such that the ball seat mechanism is transitioned to the ball release position at a low pressure point of the pattern of pressure changes to avoid pressure surges within the well string.

A downhole power generation system includes a generator that generates AC input power having a variable input voltage that varies based on a rotational rate of a turbine, which in turn is based on a variable flow rate of a fluid flow. An active rectifier converts the AC power having the variable input voltage to DC power having a constant output voltage. This may increase the range of usable input voltages and decrease a number of flow kits used in a downhole drilling assembly.

AUTONOMOUS INFLOW CONTROL DEVICE SYSTEM AND METHOD
A technique facilitates the inflow of desired fluids into a downhole well completion while restricting the inflow of undesirable fluids. The technique utilizes at least one autonomous inflow control device which is placed along a well completion to control inflow of fluid from an exterior to an interior of the well completion. The autonomous inflow control device utilizes a plurality of shiftable elements which automatically shift in their relative positions based on the density of fluid in the autonomous inflow control device. This automatic shifting causes the alignment or misalignment of flow openings so as to allow free flow of a desired fluid through the autonomous inflow control device and into the interior of the completion while automatically restricting flow of an undesirable fluid.
Apparatus and methods pertaining to an adapter mechanically connecting a wireless actuator to an SCSSV subassembly that includes an SCSSV. The adapter mechanically connects to the SCSSV subassembly so that the adapter is situated uphole of the SCSSV subassembly when set in a tubular of a wellbore. An actuating piston is carried by the adapter. The actuating piston transfers an opening force to the SCSSV in response to receipt by the adapter of pressurized fluid from the wireless actuator, thereby opening a flapper of the SCSSV.
