Generating electricity through renewable energies is growing increasingly to reduce the huge demand on electricity and the impact of fossil energies on the environment, the most common sources forms used are: the wind, the sun, the photovoltaic and the thermal, without forgetting hydropower by the bays of dams. Fortunately, 70% of our planet is covered by the seas and oceans, this area constitutes a huge potential for electricity production to be exploited. The scientific advances of recent years allow a better exploitation of these resources especially the marine current due to its reliability and predictability. The marine current energy is extracted using a hydrokinetic turbine (HKT) which transform the kinetic energy of water into an electrical energy. The exploitation of this resource needs in the first step the assessment of marine currents in the study area for implementing the HKT, and the second step is designing an adequate technology. The main goal of this study is the assessment of the marine current resource on the Moroccan Mediterranean coast to evaluate the suitable area to implement the HKT, and to determine the marine current speed intensities at different depths. As well as, to estimate an average potential existing in the site. Moreover, we will conduct a study based on the results of the assessment that was made to design a horizontal axis marine current turbine (HAMCT). Two hydrofoil profile were considered to design a HAMCT using the Blade Element Theory (BEM) and calculating their performances adapted to the site conditions Naca4415 and s8052. In addition, a comparison was made between this two HAMCT hydrofoil profile for deciding the best one for implementing in the studied area.

通过可再生能源发电已经越来越多，以减少对电力的巨大需求以及化石能源对环境的影响，最常用的能源形式是：风，太阳，光伏和热能，而不会遗忘水力发电。水坝海湾。幸运的是，我们星球的70％都被海洋覆盖，这一地区构成了开发电力的巨大潜力。近年来，由于其可靠性和可预测性，科学上的进步允许更好地开发这些资源，尤其是洋流。使用水动力涡轮机（HKT）提取海流能量，该涡轮机将水的动能转化为电能。开发该资源首先需要评估研究区域内的洋流以实施HKT，第二步是设计适当的技术。这项研究的主要目的是评估摩洛哥地中海沿岸的海流资源，以评估实施HKT的合适区域，并确定不同深度的海流速度强度。以及，估计该站点中存在的平均潜力。此外，我们将基于设计水平轴船用水轮机（HAMCT）的评估结果进行研究。考虑使用两个水翼轮廓来设计基于叶片元素理论（BEM）的HAMCT，并计算其性能以适应Naca4415和s8052的现场条件。此外，
