FIELD: electrical power engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power generation and can be used in constructing low pressure river, tidal or wind power installations. A three-phase electric generator is put between orthogonal turbines. The orthogonal turbines have a common fixed axis. The electric generator is provided with at least one two-way action inductor. The inductor or inductors are immovably attached on arms in a circular direction using frames mounted on the axis. The magnetic core and windings of each inductor are put on a separate arm. The latter is semi-pivotally connected to the frame with possibility of axial displacement about the orthogonal turbines. Adjacent phase windings of each inductor of the electric generator intersect crosswise, creating electromagnetic fields, propagating in opposite directions at different sides of the inductor and the latter face different turbines. Electric power cables from the inductors are brought out on elements of the fixed frame through the hollow fixed axis of the power generating unit.
EFFECT: invention increases reliability of operation of power installations with orthogonal turbines by simplifying design of the power generating unit, as well as more efficient use of the energy of water or air medium.
