POWER CONSOLIDATION, DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSMISSION FACILITY FOR A WATER CURRENT POWER GENERATION SYSTEM

摘要

Various subsystems for a submerged or waterborne systems used to generate power derived from fast-moving water currents using an induction-type generator system equipped with one or more fin-ring propellers are disclosed. The systems and subsystems shown and described herein are individually suitable for use in systems using conventional generator drive systems and other means of power creation. Means for transmission of power generated by such systems, and also tethering and mooring systems, and methods for improving system transportation, installation and maintenance are also disclosed.
