1. A process for converting the kinetic energy of flowing water of a water course into electric energy, which comprises the steps of:

  • providing a hydroelectric generator provided with a rotor for the conversion of kinetic energy of the flowing water into electric energy, the rotor being moved by an adjusting means to adjust the position of the rotor with respect to a fixed platform to which said adjusting means is constrained;

    stably installing the fixed platform to ground by the course of water;

    adjusting, in a controlled manner, the position of the rotor of the hydroelectric generator relative to a main flow direction of the flowing water to orient a longitudinal axis of the rotor perpendicular to the main flow direction of the flowing water; and

    semi-submerging the rotor in the flowing water to convert the kinetic energy of the flowing water into electric energy.
