Renewable Energy, 2002, vol. 25, issue 1, 15-20

Abstract: This paper presents a proposal for generating energy from the ocean current. A floating platform tied with cable bracing system to concrete blocks anchored to seabed will house the generators and turbines. To show that the construction of the proposed floating structure is feasible, construction method is also proposed. Whilst more research and investigation are required, the proposed system might offer a challenging and promising system as compared to the previous ones.
