INTRODUCTION
The floating power plant can supply electricity to a district or to a specific facility that temporarily uses electricity
It can minimize limitations caused by environmental regulations
It can be used as emergency electric power source
HISTORY In 1940,by the US Army corporation of
engineers, a 30 MW power generation facility put into service in the Philippines is still in operation in Ecuador
In 2000,which is the largest FPP in the world was installed in Mangalore on the west coast of India
DESIGN CONSIDERATION It is designed in such a way that, it operates
only like a ship at ship only requiring fuel for its generating machinery
The FPP is designed to sit in waters and 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 barrage”
Single barrage designs ranged from 30MW up to 530MW
FUEL The options are often limited in several
countries and one has to use it with available fuels with irrespective of the cost
The fuels used in power station in land or sea is mainly depends on the availability and cost
POWER BARGE DESIGN
BARGE OPERATION The operations are carried out as same as
the land based facilities. The fpp is fitted with on board control room
with data acquisition system with machinery and equipment tools
Step up transformers, motor controllers, switchgear are also installed on barge
TRANSPORTATION One of the more significant differences
of a floating power plant to a land based plant is it’s transportability.
It is being capable of moving the unit from one location to another.
This is achieved with the use of submersible heavy lift ships, designed to move very large structures around the world weighing upwards of 60,000 tons.
A power barge can be moved from one location to another in a matter of weeks and connected to the grid to alleviate local shortages.
WORKING OF FLOATING POWER STATION
The structure of floating power plant can be divided into
1.floating platform 2.rotor with blades-floating turbine
FLOATING PLATFORMThe floating platform gas various functions: It prevents undesirable materials from
entering the rotor of the machine It is equipped with submerged lateral guides
to guide the river water It permits the adjustment of the height of the
equipment above the surface of water
ROTOR WITH BLADES (FLOATING TURBINE)
Floating turbine on the surface of the river with the blades being immersed in the water
The first change is nothing but the displacement of river water proportional to the mass of the floating turbine in its physical space
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS The recent research has come out with FPP
with more sophisticated, light weight, more efficiency and more effective
The latest developments in FPP• Diesel energy• Wind energy• Tidal energy
FPP DIESEL(PHILIPPINES)
SOLAR FPP (JAPAN)
NUCLEAR FPP(RUSSIA)
ADVANTAGES Independent from soil quality Fast supply of electricity to areas with
limited infrastructure Provides addition safety in earth quake and
flooding areas Short delivery time Where land space is limited, large site area
not needed
DISADVANTAGES Infrastructure is costly when working off-
shore The access to installations is critical when
working off-shore
CONCLUSION There are various positive environmental
impacts from the construction of fpp It absorbs and utilizes the energy from
nature there by reducing the use of elements which is harmful to nature
