Kuroshio current flowing near coastal areas of Japan is one of the strongest ocean currents, and IHI is developing the floating type ocean current turbine system. In this study, we have carried out technical development of the floating type ocean current turbine system, engineering, fabrication, integration, and commissioning of 100kW turbine demonstration machine. After that, we implemented demonstration test on August-2017. As a result, the power generation from Kuroshio current was achieved, and we collected data for future practical applications, such as performance validation of the autonomous control system that stabilizes its underwater position
