[Continued on next page] (54) Title: MARINE POWER GENERATION SYSTEM (57) : A turbine assembly (200) for location in river or sea locations having unidirectional or bidirectional flow. The as- sembly (200) has: a support structure (226) and a first turbine system, supported by the support structure (226). The first turbine sys - tem has a centre of mass and being pivotally connected to the support structure (226) so that the first turbine system is rotatable, rel- ative to the support structure, about a centre of rotation. The first turbine system includes a first flowing-water driveable turbine (216) for generating power from water flow. The first turbine (216) has an operational axis (322), and is designed for optimum power output when local water flow is aligned with the operational axis (322). The wherein the centre of rotation is spaced away from the centre of mass of the first turbine system in a direction parallel to the operational axis of the turbine. The turbine assembly is arranged to rotate due to local currents, thereby bringing the operational axis towards alignment with local water flow.
