Underwater floating ocean current power generator and underwater floating ocean current power generation system

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an underwater floating type ocean current power generation device and an underwater floating type ocean current power generation system capable of obtaining more stable power. SOLUTION: In an undersea floating type ocean current power generation device 1A provided with a power generation unit 111 suspended in the ocean W and generating electric power by an ocean current F of the ocean W, an ocean current F at each position of the ocean W by an ultrasonic velocity meter 105. Is measured, and the position control unit 112 controls the position of the underwater W of the power generation unit 111 based on the flow velocity measured by the ultrasonic velocity meter 105. Therefore, the power generation unit 111 is placed at the position of the desired flow velocity in the sea. Easy to position. For this reason, the power of the power generation unit 111 is less likely to be affected by the fluctuation of the flow velocity, and more stable power can be obtained. [Selection diagram] Figure 2
