Abstract
A system and a method for controlling operation of an underwater power generator is described, as well as computing componentry for controlling the operation of the underwater power generator. The system comprises: meters for measuring selected properties associated with blade speed and inward water flow of the underwater power generator; a drive for altering one or more selected aspects of operation of the underwater power generator; and a data processing apparatus comprising a central processing unit (CPU), a memory operatively connected to the CPU, the memory containing a program adapted to be executed by the CPU, wherein the CPU and/or memory are operatively adapted to receive information from the meters to calculate a Tip Speed Ratio (TSR or λ) and implement an instruction to the drive to change the one or more selected operating parameters of the underwater power generator in response to the calculated TSR or λ.
