Due to the intensive attention granted to the investigation of new sources of energy conversion, there is also, an effort to promote the development of new technologies for the conversion of renewable and clean energy has being strengthened. In the South-Southeast Brazilian Continental Shelf, hydrodynamic simulations were performed using the TELEMAC3D model, coupled with the energy conversion module for the simulation of the hydrokinetic turbines under development at FURG. Within the studied points, the Santa Catarina region showed the best characteristics, such as bathymetry and current intensity, for the installment of turbines. The simulation results showed high capacity of generating power, with integrated power reaching 4.71 MW with average conversion around 45 kW/day during the 120 days analyzed.
