The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method of submersible deployment that includes submersing a submersible turbine toward an anchor seated along a bottom of a body of water so that tail portion of the submersible turbine is oriented closer to a cap of the anchor and upstream of a nose portion of the submersible turbine, urging the submersible turbine against a direction of flow of the body of water such that a channel defined along a ventral portion of the submersible turbine is drawn over a cap of the anchor, and while the cap is slidably engaged the submersible turbine, rotating the submersible turbine about the cap such that the nose portion is oriented upstream of the tail portion.

Some embodiments of a turbine system described herein provide a turbine that rotates in response to fluid flow, and include a rampart device that remains relatively stationary compared to the turbine and is shaped to affect fluid flow for effective power generation. The rotation of the turbine can drive a generator to output electrical energy.

Some embodiments of a turbine system described herein provide a turbine that rotates in response to off-axis fluid flow, such as water flowing in a generally horizontal direction that is generally perpendicular to a vertical axis of rotation. The rotation of the turbine can drive a generator to output electrical energy.
