Ocean renewable energy intermittent sources is a consideration of usual XXth century mind and technology. Tar Kovacs Systems is proposing a new way and technology to use these energy sources as a simultaneous and constant energy providing result with more efficiency, lower cost, and total security, even facing to hurricanes, typhoons and tsunami for any off shore installation.
The result is more than experts could expect and far ahead in front of last technologies, technically and economically.
- our technology is fully adapted to change ocean's intermittent renewable multi sources into a simultaneous full time constant result of energy providing units
- our technology is totally free of installation work and assistance
- our technology is reducing maintenance intervention for more than 50% with very low cost and easy conditions
- each of our production unit is working with tens of adapted turbines or systems for each kind of power source (wind, sun, stream, tidal, temperature)
- each production unit is constantly under full control thanks to an embedded communication system (patented)
- each of our production unit is providing electric power to land by only one submarine cable (itself installed by a new application from TKS)
- our technology is totally free of risks in front of hurricanes, typhoons, tsunami ( years to come will show interest of this capability)
Of course, as you can imagine, off shore power platforms with such potentials are maybe half cost of conventional technologies and for longer term with high security and much more power production.

All the more reason to think of going off grid. With the governments of the world trying to take over all aspects of life and then charging more and more for needed services while reducing grants and incentives, it's time for "us" to push independence once again and make them pay.

Nossen boasts two 600-kW, two 660-kW, five 1-MW, five 1.65-MW, and five 2-MW turbines. Zschadraß has a much more modest three 500-kW and one 2-MW turbine. The different impacts on the community would be easily predicted regardless of the ownership arrangements.

This cheap method can serve villages in Africa,Asia,and South America.These can be used collectively on a smaller basis to provide enough energy to charge computers,lights,electric bicycles,electrical ATVs,electric ovens, electric pumps for distant water sources,and possibly electric tractors.
