Feasibility study of hybrid floating power plant concept at the Bay of Bengal

the efficient and effective utilization of limited fossil fuel with a potential leverage from renewable energy will certainly reduce the footprint and will improve the power generation process at the same time. Offshore covering two third of the world also a vast source of renewable energy is always a better location to place such hybrid plants especially for those well already bored at offshore. Such kind of plants will also reduce the risk of human loss in case of a disaster. Our work therefore, focuses on producing electricity in a floating power plant based on a recent discovery of gas in the Bay of Bengal. The objective is to design a hybrid floating gas turbine power plant, which will harness tidal and solar energy as well. Produced electricity can be added to the grid using submarine cable. A statistical analysis, coupled with simulated data will be presented to investigate the feasibility of such power plant. As Bangladesh, India and Myanmar surround the Bay of Bengal, surpassed electricity can be exported to neighboring countries. For countries like Bangladesh with high population density, this type of plants will eliminate the risk of pollution and the subsequent adverse effects on locality and surrounding wildlife.
