Floating Power Plants Market Set to Reshape the Energy Industry

Sustainable solutions for stable power generation in remote areas! That’s what floating power plants are known and now getting famous for! The traditional energy cost is on the constant rise with production limitations due to limited land available. As a result, floating power plants have started gaining attraction in the global energy companies.

Advantages:

·       Accelerated Implementation

·       Improved efficiency due to water cooling effect

·       Cost reduction

·       Investment-friendly

Civil obligations on the floating power plants are less when compared with the conventional land-based solutions. The advantages of FPP implementations are helping overhaul the drawbacks.

Growing business opportunities:

Though rising floating plants interest in the business world is gradual, the number of developing countries headed toward better electrification and increased power provision is more. The power issues faced in the conventional energy production industry are most likely to be overcome in the floating plants' implementation.

·       Rising capital cost

·       Climate change issues

·       Carbon emission complications

Floating power plants and shipped to an offshore area will be prevailing over the above drawbacks of conventional power plant projects. This shall further help developing regions to grow in an electrically powered environment.  

The US, India, Japan, Australia and South Korea are some of the booming floating system markets which have started emphasizing more on their energy industries. Floating plant installation is projected to be more in the west coast of India, West African, Southeast Asia more such Caribbean areas since these regions have more demand for power and commercial power plants are not a practicable solution to them.

Market players in the floating power plant:

·       Wartsilä (Finland),

·       Kyocera TCL Solar  (Japan )

·       MAN Diesel & Turbo (Germany),

·       ROSATOM State Atomic Energy Corporation (Russia)

·       Karadeniz Holding A.Ş.( Turkey),

·       Principle Power, Inc.(U.S.),

·       Vikram Solar Pvt. Ltd. (India),

·       Floating Power Plant A/S (Denmark),

·       Ciel & Terre International (France),

·       Power Barge Corporation (U.S.),

·       Waller Marine, Inc.(U.S.),

The current scenario in the industry and trends and developments:

The completion of the world’s first floating nuclear power station, Akademik Lomonosov took place last month in Russia. It is expected to begin its operations in 2019.

Trends in the floating power plant section are set to reshape the energy market dominance. Midst Russia launching the first ever floating nuclear power station, China is constructing self-contained floating nuclear power plants and moving them to the areas with power shortfall.

Another developmental report came out in Denmark showing successful testing of the offshore floating power plant and a grid-connected wave device.

An Indian firm also started FPP project which they incorporated with two water pumps for oxidation of the lake.  The project helped improve the oxygen level in the lake supporting the local marine ecosystem.

Floating power plant alone is indeed beneficial in the energy industry, its developments further are transforming the efficacy of installation by integrating it with several other expedient factors. This is giving a boost for wide-spread installation of FPP  projects. If countries favored with coastal regions started adopting such plans and integrated further with research-based advancements, it will surely have a potential to get developed in the energy sector gradually if not exponentially.
