Should the game have a build able room to serve as a Underwater Turbine Power Station for players who want more power in there base, This room would serve as a great purpose in the Oxygen update as planned, also people who don't won't fish to get killed you can always put a vent on the intake as a upgrade, Making the fish safe, You can also build inside the station, converter and transformer, and a little addition to this turbine there are upgrades for it including, Turbine Vent, Converter MK-1, Converter MK-2, Transformer MK-1, Transformer MK-2, Turbine Blades MK-1 and Turbine Blades MK-2.
In addition to this more ideas came, And added item damage to this Turbine Station, Leaks, Damaged Turbine blades, Overload.
Leaks : The idea of leaks is to make the room leak of cause but also the turbine. ( seals getting damaged some how. )
Damaged Turbine blades : This is caused from the fish, by having no vents on the Turbine. ( also you can turn off / on the turbine so you can build the Vent without hurting any fish. )
Overload : Its really simple, All Big waves coming in the intake or Power overload, This addition the can happen randomly. ( you can choose depending on how much power you want )
The idea came from the Moon-pool, The upgrades can be sorted like the Moon-Pool, The station is like the Moon-Pool but bigger and a turbine slapped in the middle of it. ( To save modeling time. )

"Current" is the correct scientific term.
The reason beeing that at present you have 2 power generators providing "free" power. Solar panels and the Thermal plant and those have some requirements and downsides. First the solar panels gets a reduced effectiveness the deeper you are, and only work during daytime, and the thermal plant requires ambient ocean temperatures above 15 degrees if i understood the tooltip correctly.
So, in return for that "free" power, it requires you to think about where to place a base, relatively close to the surface, or near a thermal vent. (Unless you're willing to spend a fortune in gold routing power over a distance, which is a fair tradeoff)
Now if you were to add in a turbine generator it would either have to work everywhere, or near currents if they are implemented.
And everywhere is just too OP for "free" power.
