    Abstract: The invention concerns a system (1) of bulb turbines (2), in which each bulb turbine (2) comprises a generator located in an essentially cylindrical area (4) of a turbine housing and a turbine wheel coupled to the generator and mounted in such a way that it can rotate (7), a suction pipe (13) being attached to each bulb turbine. Several bulb turbines (2) are coupled with one another in a field-like or matrix-like order both in an essentially horizontal position side by side as well as stacked in a vertical position or are stored in at least one single common support (8). In said system, several bulb turbines are stored in one common support (8) and releasably connected to the corresponding suction pipes (13).
