To exploit this market opportunity, cross-flow hydrokinetic devices need to advance beyond the pre-commercial state and more systematic data about the structure and function of cross-flow hydrokinetic devices is required. The hydrokinetic industry shows tremendous promise as a means of helping reduce the U.S.вЂ™s use of fossil fuels and dependence on foreign oil. It is a gearless, direct-drive system that has the potential for high reliability, requires no lubricants and releases no toxins that could contaminate the surrounding water.

The TGU uses proprietary advanced design cross flow (ADCF) turbines to drive an underwater permanent magnet generator mounted at the TGUвЂ™s center. The core technology component for all ORPC power systems is its patented turbine generator unit (TGU). These power systems convert kinetic energy in moving water into moreВ В» clean, renewable, grid-compatible electric power.

ORPCвЂ™s technology consists of a family of modular hydrokinetic power systems: the TidGenВ® Power System, for use at shallow to medium-depth tidal sites the RivGenв„ў Power System, for use at river and estuary sites and the OCGenВ® Power System, presently under development, for use at deep tidal and offshore ocean current sites.

ORPC develops hydrokinetic power systems and eco-conscious projects that harness the power of oceans and rivers to create clean, predictable renewable energy. Ocean Renewable Power Company, LLC (ORPC) is a global leader in hydrokinetic technology and project development.
