Main features:
Electricity is being produced in both directions of water flow. The nacelle is in fixed position while the turbine blades turn along its own axis.
Automatic control allow for unmanned operation and optimum energy output.
Tilted structure minimizes flow disturbances and hence vibrations and unfavourable dynamic effects.
Gravity based foundation allow for minimum installation resources and leaves the sea bottom in original condition when removed.

 |
- The water current is driving the turbine. The power is optimised by regulating the pitch of the turbine blades.
|
- The power is converted to electricity in the nacelle (production module) The nacelle contains control system, gear box and generator.
|
- The electrical power is transmitted onshore by means of a sub sea cable.
