FIELD: engines and pumps.
SUBSTANCE: invention is related to power engineering and may be used to convert energy of oceanic, sea and river currents into electric energy. Power installation comprises orthogonal balanced hydraulic unit with at least two blade rotors installed below water level of water current above each other with the possibility of rotation in opposite directions with vertical axis of rotation, electric generator and system for fixation to support structure. On upper part of support structure above water level there is an orthogonal balanced wind-power unit installed with blade rotors of opposite rotation and fixed inductors of power generator. Support structure includes fixed polygon, in tops of which there are specified fixed inductors, and linear (tubular) tower of truss type fixed in internal units of polygon rigidity, which rests on units of hydraulic unit rigidity with excess floatage, arranged under water level below ice cover and zone of wind waves action. Installation is fixed at the bottom of water reservoir with the help of anchor braces or bottom piles, which are connected to hydraulic unit.
EFFECT: increased reliability and efficiency of power installation.
