Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2447774A] A flowing water drivable turbine system, including a least one turbine assembly (4) for converting the kinetic energy of passing water currents into usable energy, a support structure (1) for mounting said at lest one turbine assembly, and vessels for maintaining the support structure a vertical/upright setting by the combined effects of associating the upper part of the support structure with provision of a buoyancy vessel (7) and with a vessel (10) for the weight ways loading the lower part of the support structure which is held in operational position by at least one cable, chain or other flexible tensile member attached to an anchor point on the seabed.
