Abstract

A floating tidal power station (1) including a submerged turbine (8) and a buoyancy body (6) and also moorings (24, 32), the tidal power station (1) being provided with, spaced from the buoyancy body (6), at least one submerged counterweight (10) which is arranged, in cooperation with the buoyancy body (6), to balance torque forces to which the tidal power station (1) is subjected because of the power extraction of the turbine (8) from the water.
