    摘要: A method is described for controlling a water current turbine array which includes first and second pluralities of water current turbines operable to generate electricity from a water current. The method includes controlling respective power generation characteristics of the water current turbines in the array so as to maximise power generation of the array as a whole.

    摘要: A water current generating device is provided that consists of a main body and a horizontal axis rotor attached by a mechanical connection to a fixed support structure. Under the action of one or more hydrodynamic thrusters, the main body of the turbine is rotated about a desired axis of rotation to face the oncoming current flow. The mechanical connection incorporates an appropriate degree of freedom to allow this re-orientation to take place.
