OCGen Power System
The OCGen Power System is designed for use in deeper tidal (reversing current) and deep water ocean current (unidirectional) applications. This is a complete power generation system that includes an array of several to several dozen modules, each capable of producing 1-2 MW output at its rated flow speed. The OCGen Power System is a megawatt-scale device designed for utility-scale river and tidal location applications in North America and Europe.
