Underwater turbines are devices designed to harness the energy of water currents in marine and river environments. Similar in function to wind turbines, they convert kinetic energy from flowing water into mechanical energy, which can then be transformed into electrical energy through a generator. These turbines are typically installed on the seabed or riverbed and are often used in sites with strong and constant water flow, such as tidal areas, rivers, or ocean currents. Underwater turbines contribute to renewable energy generation, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels by utilizing the natural movement of water. Their operation is dependent on the speed of the water flow; the faster the current, the more energy can be generated. They also present a low-carbon energy solution with minimal environmental impact compared to other forms of energy generation.
