In one embodiment, a wellbore power generation method includes causing a fluid to flow through a downhole turbine, and causing the turbine to rotate a generator (100). At least one of a turbine configuration and a flow rate of the fluid is selected to cause the downhole turbine to operate near its runaway speed, such that changes in load applied to the generator (100) do not substantially affect a rotation rate of the downhole turbine (111).
