INTRODUCTION :

•The floating power plant can economically supply electricity to a specific district or to a specific facility that temporarily uses electricity

•And can minimize limitations caused by environmental regulations, and can be used as an emergency electric power source.

HISTORY

•In fact one of the earlier units, constructed in 1940 by the US Army Corp of Engineers, a 30 MW steam generation facility and put into service in the Philippines, is still in operation at a site in Ecuador

•The initial answer was the need to install fast, reliable capacity in countries experiencing severe capacity shortages

•Countries in South East Asia, particularly the Philippines, South America and the Caribbean found themselves desperately short of power

•In 2000, what is currently the largest FPP in the world was installed in Mangalore, on the west coat of India.

66 MW FPP – Philippines

105 MW FPP- Bangladesh

•The design of an FPP merges the engineering protocols of the Marine and Power Generation Industries.

•It is Designed in such a way that it operates like a ship at sea only requiring fuel for it’s generating machinery

•The FPP is constrained in its motion, and thus move vertically with the tides, river levels or storm surges, without any rotational motion

•The FPP is designed to sit in waters & move like a vessel at sea, but rather they are designed for service in protected inland waters such as rivers, lagoons, or ports

•The completed vessel receives a Classification as a “Power Barge

•Single barge designs ranged from 30 MW up to 530 MW.

Floating Power Plant,,,,.

•The structure of the Fpp can be divided into,•Floating platform •Rotor with blades (A Floating Turbine)

The floating platform(float) has various functions:

• It is equipped with submerged lateral guides to direct the river water•It permits the adjustment of the height of the equipment above the surface of the river.•It prevents undesirable materials from entering the rotor of the turbine•It has automatic adjustments in case there are variations in the water level

Working of a FPP

• Rotor with blades (A Floating Turbine)• floating turbine on the surface of the river without the blades being submersed in the water

Working of a FPP

• Rotor with blades (A Floating Turbine)

•Floating turbine on the surface of the river with the blades being immersed in the water

•we notice that the first change is nothing more than the displacement of river water proportional to the mass of the floating turbine in its physical space

•It is important the displacement occurs because the volume of the river waterflowing continues in its bed, taking its natural course

Resent DevelopmentsThe recent research and operation on FPP has

developed more sophisticated, light weight, high efficient and effective FPP

Some of the latest developments are1.FPP diesel2.FPP wind energy3.FPP tidal energy

ADVANTAGESFast supply of electricity to areas with limited

infrastructureInstallation possible in areas with poor

logistic infrastructureIndependent from soil qualityProvides additional safety in earth quake and

flooding areasWhere land space is limited, large site area

not neededMobile asset for the owner, possibility to

tradeShort Delivery Time

DISADVANTAGES

FPP as a problem with end-user power demand and supply not being synchronized.

The access to the installations is critical when working off-shore.

Infrastructure is costly when working off-shore.

FUTURE OF FPP• •More than 60 floating power stations are in operation around the world.

•Deploying some 4 GW at continental shores where electricity is most needed.

•Though these feature a variety of power sources.

• There are several positive environmental impacts from the construction of FPP.•The energy production from a 230 meter Poseidon power plant will reduce the annual emission from a traditional fossil fuel power generation by: •145 tons of sulphur dioxide•120 tons of nitric oxides•35,000 tons of carbon dioxide•2,600 tons of slag and fly ash

•FPP utilizes and absorbs the inherent energy from the Nature, thereby reducing the use of elements that are Harmful to the Mother nature.
