Technology Highlights

• By adopting an inclined hinge around which a link element pivots the system allows movement of the operating unit (underwater plant/nacelle) from the underwater position to a service position close to the main vessel and out of the water. Maneuvering, towing is easier, inspection and maintenance of the operating unit can be carried out from a work platform above water.
• It accomplishes the above by providing an improved hinge assembly whose layout and construction of the hinge is in two parts both aligned on the same axis.
• The hinge allows the mechanical transmission of rotational force (torque) between the operating unit and the main vessel, thus making possible locating the generator(s) – in case of tidal power plants – on the main vessel.
• It provides an improved assembly that utilizes props to stabilize the link element and operating plant in the operating position.
• The system includes a movable/extendable access deck installed in a manner to avoid the path of the link element and operational unit serving as protection to nacelles while towing or berthing takes place and as a work platform for inspection and maintenance.
