This paper presents a novel integrated offshore energy concept combining mid-depth neutrally buoyant HVDCsubmarine cable infrastructure with tidal energy turbines suspended at approximately 700 meters depth using aseabed anchor network. A critical design principle distinguishes this concept from prior work: the cable and turbinearray layout is non-linear, designed to follow and align with the dominant current flow patterns at each specificdeployment site rather than following straight geographical lines between endpoints. At Pentland Firth, Scotland,the system curves around the Island of Stroma following the east-west tidal flood and ebb flow. At the Lombok Strait,Indonesia, the layout traces the Indonesian Throughflow current path around the Nusa Penida sill. Thiscurrent-aligned design maximizes turbine efficiency, reduces structural loading from lateral current forces, andminimizes cable fatigue. All individual component technologies are proven in existing industries. The novelcontribution is their integration into a unified system at mid-depth, exploiting an operationally underutilized depthzone that avoids surface hazards and extreme deep pressure simultaneously.
