摘要 |
The proposed invention describes a plant for electricity production and/or water desalination, by using submerged turbines (A) and other equipments. In the desalination operation, the plant does not use electricity. The plant can operate at rivers or at oceans. Both in the rivers and in the oceans, the plant can operate with the turbines (A) fixed in the ground (E) or in a floating-anchored structure. In rivers, the equipment of electricity generation and/or desalination are installed in one of the borders. In the ocean, these equipment are installed above the water level, in a platform fixed at the seabed (E), in cases of oceans with up to 50 meters deep. For oceans with more than 50 meters deep, these equipment are installed in a semi-submersible platform that is anchored to the seabed. In both of these configurations, the turbines (A) can be fixed in other floating structure, that is also anchored to the seabed (E). In all the installation purposes of the plant, the turbines (A) are interconnected to the equipment of electricity and/or desalination, through a rigid or flexible pipe (F). |
