<p>The present invention provides a method of securing a hydroelectric turbine at a deployment site, for example on the seabed and in an area of significant tidal flow, which method enables the turbine to be located securely without risk of overturning or sliding out of position, but without requiring the use of piling or other complex fixing operations, by using the tidal flow to generate a downwardly acting force on one or more legs of a base on which the turbine is mounted.</p> |
