ABSTRACT:
An energy conversion system for converting tidal energy into electrical energy includes a barrier deployable across a body of water. The barrier has an upper and lower closed loop of cable between which are secured a series of sail arrays adapted to effect displacement of the cables around the closed loop, which motion is converted into electrical energy by one or more transducers forming part of the system.
