Rotatable energy generation unit for generating electric energy from a water flow

Abstract

The invention relates to a rotatable power generation plant for generating electric power from a flow of water, comprising: a water turbine; an electric generator which is driven by the water turbine; a support body which is associated with a first axis; a nacelle body which is associated with a second axis bent off relative to the first axis and is movable relative to the support body; a connection cable which extends from the electric generator through the nacelle body to the support body; a hinged joint between the support body and the nacelle body with a device which transmits a rotational movement of the nacelle body about the first axis associated with the support body into a rotational movement of the nacelle body about the second axis associated with the same in such a way that twisting of the connection cable remains limited.
