    摘要: A water power turbine energy conversion device and method of generating electric power that can take advantage of water current speeds is hereinafter disclosed. The water power turbine energy conversion device includes an unmanned tethered aquatic device (TAD) connected to one end of a tether (which may include multiple shorter tethers), the other end being connected to an anchorage point. The TAD comprises a hydrofoil wing-like structure with one or more water power turbines and performs waterborne maneuvers such as cross-current tracking to increase the relative water current speed of up to about four times the true water current speed.

    摘要: A high voltage direct current (DC) tether for an airborne wind turbine includes one conductor in the center of the feeder and the shielding of the feeder as a second conductor. A mechanical strength element is disposed in between the center conductor and the shielding. In this configuration, the mechanical strength element acts also as an insulator. The center conductor and the shielding can be made of aluminum or copper. The strength element can be a high strength fiber composite, woven such as VECTRAN® or SPECTRA®. The shielding is typically used as the return conductor.
