    摘要: A connector (17) is provided to mount a power generation unit of an underwater power generator to a base assembly. The connector comprises (17) a lower connector portion (72) having a stem (62) projecting upwardly and having a tapering profile and an upper connector portion (70) having an inwardly and upwardly extending recess (60). At least one generally cylindrical pin (61) extends radially inwardly into the recess (60) and at least one groove (64) is formed in the stem (62). The groove (64) is configured to allow the pin (61) to travel along the groove (64) as the stem (62) is axially inserted into the recess (60).

    摘要: A method of installing an underwater foundation, suitable for use in supporting or anchoring wave or tidal energy capture devices is provided. The method comprises providing a foundation unit (1) equipped with a submersible drilling rig (16); placing the foundation unit (1) on the bed (50) of a body of water at a selected location; activating the submersible drilling rig (16) to drill a plurality of pile holes (56) in the bed of the body of water; and securing the foundation unit (1) to the bed of the body of water by means of piles (54) or tendons, inserted in pile holes (56) and secured to the foundation unit (1). A foundation unit (1) and a submersible drilling rig (16) for use in the method are also provided.

    摘要: Submergible system, comprising a rotor with several blades, which drive an electrical generator, located in a central dome or pod. From de pod radial go out several arms (the number of arms is equal to the blades). At the end of each arm it's located a float.
    Due to the distribution of weights and buoyancy forces in operation the rotational and tilt momentums are equilibrated hydrostatically. The structure is linked to the sea bottom with a mooring rope set.
    The set of arms and floats could be filled or emptied with water ballasts, in order to move the whole position form a vertical orientation in submerged operation to a horizontal angle when the structure is floating at sea surface, for maintenance.
