A downhole power generation system is disclosed, which includes a power generation module for providing power to a load, comprising a turbine driven by flow of a downhole fluid to rotate, a generator coupled with the turbine for converting rotational energy from the turbine to electrical energy, and an AC-DC rectifier coupled with the generator for converting an alternating current voltage from the generator to a direct current voltage, and a power conversion circuit coupling 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.
