HYDRAULIC POWER STATION OF SEA CURRENT OF KUSCHENKO VA Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F03B13/10 F03B17/06 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: hydraulic power station of sea current includes above-water platforms, horizontal and vertical load-bearing cables with buoys fixed on the platforms, weights located on the sea bed and attached to the buoys, generator units attached to the cables, electric power converters, devices for water separation to hydrogen and oxygen and control system. Generator units include pressure sealed electric power generators, blade elements and voltage regulators. Generator units are performed separated at the cables. To the horizontal load-bearing cables there attached are vertical cables. The outputs of device for water separation are connected to the device for hydrogen and oxygen liquefaction, which is connected with the pipeline and hydrogen and oxygen consumers. Pressure sealed electric power generator is attached to the front fairwater piece, which is attached to the voltage regulator. Blade element has a spiral form and is fixed on the electric power generator shaft and attached to the rear fairwater piece. Fairwater piece and spiral element have cavities that provide specified floatability. Generator units on the cables are separated by actuating cylinders. Vertical cables provide movement of maintenance elevators.

EFFECT: simplification of hydraulic power station operation, facilitation of its maintenance.
