Introduction ': Power Barge 115 MW

The document describes a 115 MW floating power plant barge. The barge is fitted with 15 main diesel engines that are 9.6 MW each, with 2 serving as reserves. The barge design includes a tank farm, cooling system, air starting, and auxiliary equipment, as well as mooring capabilities. Key benefits of the power barge include providing power where needed, supporting rapid infrastructure development in remote regions, reduced reliance on local capabilities, taking advantage of shipbuilding financing incentives, and being unaffected by landslides or earthquakes.

POWER BARGE 115 MW

INTRODUCTION `

The floating power plant can economically supply electricity to a


specific district or to a specific facility that temporarily uses energy. Existing
large bulk carriers, which are fitted with used reciprocating engines and new
state of the art, large bore dual fuel engines that run on heavy or natural gas
to generate electricity. (MAN. 2011)

Design Description

The power barge is rated 115 MW which is composed of 15 main diesel


engines, 9.6 MW each, of which 2 are reserves. The design of power barge is
composed of tank farm, cooling system, air starting, auxiliary equipment and
mooring.
