A water current power generating system comprises a support structure (2) located on a bed (3) of a body of water. A power generating apparatus (4), such as a water current turbine device, is mounted on the support structure (2), by way of a mounting portion (6). The system also includes a measurement unit operable to determine operating information relating to operation of the system, and a controller operable to determine loading on the system from such operating information, and to adjust a controlled parameter of the system such that loading on the system falls below a predetermined threshold value. |
