Abstract (en)

The invention provides a system (100) for generating energy in a water stream (200). The system (100) comprises a water guiding device (110) with a passage (120) for the water stream (200). The system (100) comprises an energy generating device (130) at the passage (120), which is rotatable around a rotation axis (R) by means of the water stream (200) for generating energy. The system (100) comprises a pivoting device (150) arranged for pivoting the energy generating device (130) around a pivot axis (P) with respect to the water guiding device (110) between at least one closed position in which the energy generating device (130) is positioned at the passage (120) for generating energy and an open position in which the energy generating device (130) is positioned for reducing disturbance of the water stream (200). The pivot axis (P) extends along a first non-horizontal direction or along a second horizontal direction transverse to a horizontal normal (N) to a flow direction (F) of the water stream (200).
