HYDROELECTRIC GENERATOR TO BE INSTALLED IN A WATER COURSE

摘要

A hydroelectric generator adapted to be installed in a water course, of the type having a semi-submerged rotor, including a fixed platform, rotor means for the conversion of kinetic energy of a fluid in electric energy, having adjusting means to adjust the position of the rotor means is disclosed. The adjusting means to adjust the position are constrained to the fixed platform and move, in a controlled way, the rotor means with respect to the fixed platform with at least one degree of freedom, to change at least the orientation of the axis (A) of the rotor with respect to the main flow direction (D) of the water.
