METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING ELECTRICAL ENERGY FROM SEA OR RIVER CURRENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a system making it possible to produce, from sea or river currents, a circulation of water intended to turn a set of remote turbines associated with a system for generating electrical energy. It consists of a set of submerged caissons which, thanks to the so-called physical laws of Bernoulli or Venturi, transforms underwater currents into an accelerated flow of water and transported using tubes or pipes to a set of deported turbines. The latter, located on a surface platform, transforms kinetic energy into rotational energy transmitted to an electric energy generator using a transmission system. The method according to the invention finds a particularly interesting application, for countries and regions having a maritime coast subject to tides and currents and wishing to develop its production capacity in renewable energy while preserving access and attractiveness. tourism of its coast, and for the territories crossed by rivers with sufficient depth and flow. It can also be associated in a complementary way with existing sites or other means of renewable energy production, such as offshore wind turbine sites or means of electric production by photovoltaic panels.
