• The use of energy allows the oceans to extract oil and gas for a long time after reservoir production will fall to an unprofitable level, using downhole pumps and compressors to increase the dynamic pressure and well flow rates, increased recoverable reserves, revenue and profit margins.
• The modern marine platform is limited mainly by the time of power generation diesel generators, the human factor and weather conditions. Modern platform goes far from the earth for many hundreds of thousands of kilometers where there is no stability in anything. Therefore, the work of multimillion-dollar systems are not predictable. The supply of electricity for drilling operations just a few days a year, leads to the impossibility of completing deep wells, and production at great depth at all questionable. The fact that a powerful diesel generators for drilling rigs require extensive bulkheads, after only a few days of continuous operation. Here add the human factor and the severe climate of the ocean and you get the unpredictability of the platform, which means its revenues may also be jeopardized. That's why I use a break for bulkheads diesel generators, the platform goes to another place the drilling, leaving possibly promising the formation. Of course the government waters in which the drilling will require to dig to a depth of 10 m. all communications, which will make the process irrevocable.
• One of the fundamental inventions of the author of the project, which is the basis for other devices, for example, gravitational hydrothermal power plants.
• Below is a 3D design gravity underwater power plant with a capacity of 5,000 kW, whose height is 50 meters. The plant is applicable in any geographical conditions. Scaling it to install in the natural whirlpools of up to 1000 meters so you will get the power of 1 million kW.
Constructive solution of a submarine non-pressure hydroelectric power station with an orthogonal helical turbine
generators in the hyperbolic case.
The problem of energy supply many of the devices that are currently working in the
marine industry one of the important the challenges facing the energy industry. The
decision of using coastal cable restricts the exploration and production of minerals on
the bottom of the world ocean, as operating costs exceed the profits of such enterprise,
and it becomes not cost-effective. Now known Autonomous devices are thin and difficult
to manage compared to offer.
The first and the last Russian
experimental Kislogubskaya tidal
power plant with a capacity of only
1.5 MW was manufactured at the
plant "Sevmash" in Severodvinsk,
Arkhangelsk region. There was an
experimental metal filler unit
«Malaya Mezenskaya» tidal power
plant casting" with orthogonal
hydraulic unit a rotor diameter of 5
meters on a vertical shaft.
The disadvantage of this design of tidal power plant is to recognize the need for the
device of the dam, when required for drilling operations power 5 MW and above on the
seabed almost it is impossible to implement due to the high complexity of such works.
The introduction of a new machine-building production is caused by:• The development of a series of new non-pressure hydroelectric power station with spiral turbines
on a vertical shaft for oil and gas offshore platforms.
• Solution far available supply of offshore drilling rigs and other marine management devices durable Autonomous power.
• The problem occurs when the power supply to the remoteness of objects from centralized sources.
• Now the problem is solved by means of diesel or gas-piston power plants, operating costs which are several times higher than the cost of the equipment.
• So, for example, to drill requires a capacity of 2 MW. Price diesel generator of the same capacity is $ 2 million USD. Fuel consumption per year with 8 hour operation and 100% load equals 50 million litres. When purchasing wholesale diesel fuel at 80 cents per liter you want to publish per year 40 million US dollars.
• The cost of hydroelectric gravitational action of the same capacity is almost three times more expensive and is $ 6 million USD, but it is cheaper to operate, as there are no costs associated with fuel consumption.
• When the offshore platform produces an available resource from the bottom, it is considered more appropriate not to work, as required bulkhead of the diesel generator after 20 day of continuous operation. Government to save the environment require to dig up to a depth of 10 m in all wells, foundations and pipelines, after moving to another have been explored in advance. After a multimillion-dollar infra - structure will be removed, up to 90% of oil reserves remain in the ground and these stocks will never be able to be mined, so all have to start anew. stocks will never be able to be mined, so all have to start anew.
One solution - project of MIT floating nuclear power plant 150 MW in the high
seas.
The creators believe that this station will be virtually immune to earthquakes,
tsunamis and accidents.
The floating reactor gives the plant easy access to passive cooling, which с/о
«Jacopo Buongiorno» from MIT calls "endless warmth the challenge".
But the ideas sound scary.
In an emergency, nuclear power plant emits radioactive gases is not so much in
atmosphere as in the ocean. This protects the animal population from airborne
radiation, but it is unlikely that this method is safe for the local environment. The
creators believe that this station will be virtually immune to earthquakes, tsunamis
and accidents.

SOLUTION
• Hydro power plant can produce electrical energy, the required power immediately, without accumulation,
through the use of the generator to the armature of a large diameter permanent magnet, allowing for use
at any distance from the Central electricity if you do not require storage of electrical energy.
• The client will receive a compact equipment for self-production of electrical energy on an industrial scale
without the consumption of liquid fuel, and, consequently, a significant reduction in operating costs.
• Proof that the solution works exist on the basis of experimental studies and working models of gas-
dynamic models.
• In the world widely carried out research underwater power plants, large industrial facilities, for example
in the UK and the Netherlands, so we can assume the market this product can be widely demanded.
• The intellectual property is protected many of the inventions classified as for official use, which will not
allow competitors to copy the product, at least on the territory of the Russian Federation for 20 years
from the date of disclosure of information about the device.
• On the territory of other CIS countries, former republics of the Soviet Union, the question of exclusive
right of use for 15 years is at the level of obtaining a patent for utility model on the basis of data of the
invention.
The design of the cap of the hydraulic turbine with guide flaps, which absorb the power of the near-bottom cold
current.
Рынок
• Potential customer, how the final consumer product enterprises are OJSC "Gazprom"; OOO "Rosneft", "LUKOIL", emergency and other well-known domestic oil and gas companies developing offshore platforms for the installation of extraction equipment.
• If you save information about individual node connections and the scheme of counter flow and configuration of the internal space station in particular directions of flow to create a stable vortex, it is possible to achieve the status as the only provider in the world. Considering the high metal content platforms, cost-effective specialization of their production in a single package.
• For Russia and other countries a cost-effective production of approximately 100 power plants from 2 to 5 MW per year, each of which can be set hydro tower power at the price from 6 to 15 million USD, so at a cost from 3 to 7.5 million USD gross profit per year can range from 300 to 750 million USD.*
• In addition it is possible electrification of sea and ocean coasts in the construction of large hydroelectric power station of 1000 MW. For example at the mouth of the Straits of Giblartar. In this case, the installation cost of 1 MW is expected to amount to 1 million US dollars, with the sale price of electricity for the price of 4 cents per kilowatt station to pay for itself in 3 years.
*Market evaluation based on both Russian and foreign solutions.
Competitive advantages.• Information about competitors and about the benefits of this project and
the shortcomings in relation to them chosen from the Internet. In addition, consider not only the producers of the same, but all solutions to identified problems.
• Scottish company Scottish Power Renewable tested in 2012 at a depth of 30 meters near the Orkney Islands underwater hydropower plants with a horizontal rotor with a capacity of 1 MW. Hydro tower power does not require the direction of the flow, and thus complicated management under water, and in addition rotors horizontal scalability capacity is limited by the diameter of the wheels.
Competitive advantages.
• The Dutch company «Flourmill» has tested in 2013, an underwater hydropower plant with capacity of 600 kW, with two vertical rotors in the form of a screw turbine with a diameter of 8 m and length 32 m, which most closely reconstructs the constructive solution of the project under development.
• Adopted in the draft decision is characterized by the presence of the hyperbolic hull, creating a first excess pressure, which increases power at the same parameters; secondly creates the stability of the vortex through the organization of counter flow of ascending and descending and the third protects the turbine blades from composite material from damage and the surrounding flora and fauna from extinction.
Competitive advantages
• A subsidiary of Siemens Marin Current Turbines in 2008 launched an underwater power plant with a capacity of 1.2 MW Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland.
• The distinguishing feature of the project in a more robust and scalable design, since the rotation around the body of the tower base horizontal rotors implies limited capacity.
Competitive advantages
• Company in great Britain Atlantis tested in 2008 channel hydropower plants with a horizontal turbine AS140, which is suitable for deployment in river conditions and bidirectional diurnal tidal marine currents. Diffuser optimizes the turbine efficiency across flow velocity distribution of the flow. It is ideal for protected areas of the ocean and riverbeds.
• The difference of this project in another principle of operation using the Venture effect that allows you to get more high power vortex motion and does not depend on the direction of bottom currents, which provides scalability without any problems with increasing diameter.

The main drawback - very small
size sensing pressure, thus
the need increase the size of the
plants to obtain sufficient power, for
example 2 MW is necessary to
produce almost 200 sections.

Thank you for your attention!1. Why is our project better thesis 1: Essential features of the invention. Foreign
counterparts are careful to avoid repetition of a design patented cyclone plant operation, however, in view of foreign developments clearly expressed tendency of the helical turbine in any form, and the Oxford University have conducted testing and determined that the potential effectiveness of the helical turbine is significantly higher than other designs of vertical axis rotor.
2. Why is our project better thesis 2: the Universality of the project. The turbine generator versatile can be used both above and under water. Theoretical analysis and modelling, confirmed by testing, has shown outputs several times higher than those achievable for turbines of the propeller type. The design philosophy is focused on extreme reliability combined with ease of installation and maintenance with minimal environmental impact. Cross-section of the horizontal axis configuration works equally well with flow in either direction, and therefore does not require adjustment, as the wave changes direction. Why is our best project – thesis 3: the scalability of the project.
3. Simple design - only one rotating unit, with no arrangements, no complicated steps of changing machinery and electrical equipment in a dry block turbo-generator, which means a significant reduction in the cost life cycle design allows the increase in plant capacity without significant design changes..
