3. 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.

6. 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.

7. 66 MW FPP – Philippines

8. 105 MW FPP- Bangladesh

9. •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.

12. •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

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

14. • 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

16. Resent Developments
The recent research and operation on FPP has
developed more sophisticated, light weight, high
efficient and effective FPP
Some of the latest developments are
4.FPP diesel
5.FPP wind energy
6.FPP tidal energy

17. Fpp Diesel

19. ADvAntAGes
Fast supply of electricity to areas with limited
infrastructure
Installation possible in areas with poor logistic
infrastructure
Independent from soil quality
Provides additional safety in earth quake and flooding
areas
Where land space is limited, large site area not
needed
Mobile asset for the owner, possibility to trade
Short Delivery Time

20. 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.

21. 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.

22. • 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.
