Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A power plant 100 comprising: a fluid turbine-generator 101 having a pressure housing 23; and a turbine 20 having a fluid inlet 12a and a fluid outlet 12b connected thereto and extending into and out of the pressure housing. The power plant further comprising an electric generator 21; wherein the turbine and the electric generator are arranged inside the pressure housing; and a flow loop 12 operatively connected to the inlet and outlet and comprising: a first heat exchanger 11 configured to heat a working fluid circulating in the flow loop, and a pump 14, and a second heat exchanger 13 configured to cool the working fluid circulating in the flow loop. There is also provided a method of producing electric power, the method comprising operating a power plant arranged on a sea floor 61 or on an offshore platform. The working fluid may be water. The working fluid may be carbon dioxide.
