This is the first in a series of conceptual drawings showing the ability for kinetic hydropower generation in ocean currents to integrate with wind power farms. The benefits of this type of hybrid renewable energy system are numbers, but primarily, both generation technologies can use the same transmission infrastructure and since ocean current kinetic hydropower has a 100% Capacity Factor (CF), the standard deviation of the wind power generation oscillations are dampened which leads to much higher project revenue generation and lower costs per kilowatt.
