- 3. INTRODUCTION The floatingpower 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
- 4. HISTORY In 1940,bythe 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
- 5. DESIGN CONSIDERATION Itis 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
- 6. FUEL The optionsare 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

- 8. BARGE OPERATION Theoperations 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
- 9. TRANSPORTATION One ofthe 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.
- 10. A powerbarge can be moved from one location to another in a matter of weeks and connected to the grid to alleviate local shortages.
- 11. WORKING OF FLOATINGPOWER STATION The structure of floating power plant can be divided into 1.floating platform 2.rotor with blades-floating turbine
- 12. FLOATING PLATFORM The floatingplatform 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
- 13. ROTOR WITH BLADES (FLOATINGTURBINE) 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
- 14. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Therecent 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

- 18. ADVANTAGES Independent fromsoil 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
- 19. DISADVANTAGES Infrastructure iscostly when working off-shore The access to installations is critical when working off-shore
- 20. CONCLUSION There arevarious 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
