A Hydrokinetic Electrical Power Generation Station (HEPGS) is disclosed which converts unimpeded river, ocean and tidal flow currents into useful electrical power on a very large scale (>6 MW each). This innovative approach requires no additional structures to be built on land (or in the water), there are no fast moving components and it has little to no ecological impact to the aquatic environment. They are designed to operate well below river traffic navigating on the surface and withstand the impact of debris floating under it. They are modular in construction which allows for the setup, upgrade, monitoring and any unexpected maintenance using conventional barging technology. They can be used as the soul source of electrical power for communities close to flowing rivers (or ocean currents) or they can supplement existing power generation stations located near large rivers thus helping to reduce (and eliminate) their use of non-renewable fuel.
