[0094] The underwater connector has the advantage of being able to be used continuously without having to install it every time a power generation device is tested, as submarine cables are expensive and difficult to install, so the submarine cable can be installed all at once.

[0095] The underwater connector is composed of a male and a female. A male underwater connector is installed on the side of the existing submarine cable, and a female underwater connector is connected on the side of the power generation device, allowing for easy connection and installation.

[0127] According to one embodiment, the underwater connector portion includes a male underwater connector and a female underwater connector, and can be attached and detached using the male underwater connector or the female underwater connector.

[0128] According to one embodiment, the underwater connector portion may further include a bending reinforcement to prevent bending of the submarine cable.

[0129] The term '~ part' used in this embodiment means a software or hardware component such as an FPGA (field-programmable gate array) or an ASIC, and the '~ part' performs certain roles. However, the '~ part' is not limited to software or hardware. The '~ part' may be configured to be on an addressable storage medium and may be configured to play one or more processors. Thus, as an example, the '~ part' includes components such as software components, object-oriented software components, class components, and task components, processes, functions, attributes, procedures, subroutines, segments of program code, drivers, firmware, microcode, circuits, data, databases, data structures, tables, arrays, and variables. The functionality provided within the components and '~ parts' may be combined into a smaller number of components and '~ parts' or further separated into additional components and '~ parts'. Additionally, components and '~parts' may be implemented to regenerate one or more CPUs within a device or secure multimedia card.

[0130] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below.
