3. INTRODUCTION
Power ship is a special purpose ship on
which a power plant is installed to serve
as a power generation resource.
The floating powerplant can supply
electricity to a district or a facility that
temporarily uses electricity.
They are used as good back up power
and they are locomotive in nature

4. Name of the paper Year Description
Floating power barge and
power ship
1 February 2010
In this we get know about the
floating power barges they are
installed near shore and they are
used for generation of electricity
and the use tides as a source.

Fuels play an important role it
makes a generator run the fuel
used must be such that it gives
less pollution and it must be
more efficent

In this paper we can see the
nuclear type floating power
plants and there working and the
parts involved and its life time

Hywind Scotland, World's
First Floating Wind Farm
16 February 2018
In this we can see wind farm and
how the electricity is being
generated. Windmills are placed
on the ocean surface which,and
how efficient are they.

This paper explains the type of
Power ships or floating power
plants . And how efficient they
are when used in different
condition.

6. DIFFERERNT TYPES OF FLOATING
POWER PLANTS AND THERE
WORKING
The floating power plant are divided on the basis of,
how they generate electricity . The FPP is divided into.
•Wind type floating power plant
•Nuclear type floating power plant
•Tidal type floating power plant
•Diesel type floating power plant

7. Wind type floating
power plant
Wind power is stronger in the
ocean than on land, hence the
development of offshore wind in
recent years.
Wind turbines can now be
installed on these platforms, which
are anchored to the seabed by
means of flexible anchors, chains
or steel cables.
7
8. 8
A floating offshore wind platform (FOWP) is the concrete, steel or
hybrid substructure on which the wind turbine is installed, providing it
with buoyancy and stability. Some call it a floating foundation .
9. Nuclear type floating power
plant
Floating nuclear power stations are
vessels designed by Rosatom,
the Russian state-owned nuclear
energy corporation.
They are self-contained, low-
capacity, floating nuclear power plant.
Rosatom plans to mass-produce the
stations at shipbuilding facilities and
then tow them to ports near locations
that require electricity.
9
10. 10
First floating nuclear power plant, is a form of pressurized water
reactor that generates heated, high-pressure water which transfers its
thermal energy to lower pressure water in a secondary system which
also generates steam.Which in turn rotates the turbine which
produces current
11. Tidal type floating power
plant
Energy systems in action today rely
on big and expensive underwater
walls, with sluice gates that open and
close as the tide changes and leverage
the varying water levels to turn
turbines.
A different approach is to use
floating platforms that can be towed
out into channels with accelerated
tidal flows and moored to the ocean
floor.
11
12. 12
A tidal energy works via a turbine works like a wind turbine, with
blades rotating 12-to-18 times a minute depending on tide strength.
The turbine is connected to a gearbox that turns a generator, creating
electricity.
13. Diesel type floating
power plant
The ships are former freighters
that will be converted into
floating diesel power plants,
which will be connected to local
power grids to temporarily cover
demand.
13
14. In floating diesel
power plant, diesel
engine is used as the
prime mover.
The diesel burns inside
the engine and the
products of this
combustion act as the
working fluid to
produce mechanical
energy.
The diesel engine
drives alternator which
converts mechanical
energy into electrical
energy.
14
15. APPLICATIONS
Due to its locomotive nature it can move to remote areas
where the demand is there of power.
They can full fill the demands of substations which are
unable to complete there demands.
The use of floating power plant is in the areas where the
chances of earthquakes and floods can be seen.
Countries like Japan ,Brazil ,Europe, India ,China are some
the countries which use floating power plant.
15
16. Advantages
Is a mobile asset, possible to relocate or trade
Does not require a large site
Is independent of soil quality
Provides secure power supply in the event of
earth quakes or floods
16
17. Disadvantage
FPP has a problem with end user power deman
d and supply not being synchronized.
The access to the installations is critical when
working off shore.
Infrastructure is costly when working off shore.
17
18. CONCLUSION
In conclusion , we would like to conclude
that the floating power plant are very useful
as back power for remote areas such as small
islands and etc. Most particularly, Power
ships provide very fundamental profits in
energy production for countries that have
challenges in establishing land-based power
plants.
