System for deploying a semi-submerged floating turbine
A device adapted to extract energy from a tidal stream of a body of water having a water line when the device is semi-submerged in the body of water, comprises at least two turbines 4, wherein the at least two turbines are mounted on a turbine support structure 3 being movable between a transport orientation and an operational orientation. In the transport orientation turbine blades of the at least two turbines are floating above the water line, and in the operational orientation the turbine blades of the at least two turbines are immersed below the water line. The support structure may also comprise at least one buoyancy structure 5 which is used to change between the transport and operation orientations by using seawater 12 and horizontal subdivisions 11 to create ballasts. The device may comprise attachment means as shown in Figure 1 for attaching the support structure to at least one mooring line 6.
