A modular system for producing electricity from the channel, river, ocean or tidal water currents is disclosed. The embodiments of the system comprise a set of interconnected submersible converting and diverting modules. Each converting module contains a water flow energy converter positioned in a protecting housing. A converter consists of a vertical axis underwater hydro-turbine, connected to the electrical generator. The turbine is essentially a paddlewheel having an arrangement of attached paddles with mutually perpendicularly oriented asymmetric blades that are fixed to the poles at both ends. Such orientation of blades provides a positive feedback minimizing the blades' friction while maximizing a drag force and maximizing the turbine's efficiency. The electrical generator transforms the rotational energy of the turbine into electricity. Diverting modules are used to increase water stream velocities and power output from the turbines. An array of converting and diverting modules may be arranged side by side, thus providing versatile configurations of submersible hydroelectric power systems, which are inexpensive to build, install and maintain.
