Floating power plants with cogeneration capability

Floating power plants with cogeneration capability 

Three of the concepts, VBER-150 (7), KLT-20 (8), and ABV (9), are being designed as barge-mounted, complete power plants which can be towed from the factory to a water-accessible site, moored in a pre-prepared lagoon, and connected to a localized grid. Table 4 summarizes their characteristics. At 10 to 150 MW(e), these plants could support electrical needs for off-grid towns of up to several hundred thousand populations. They are also properly sized for support of industrial operations at remote, water-accessible locations. Moreover, all of these plants offer potable water production or district heating. 

The VBER-150, KLT-20, and ABV concepts are water cooled thermal reactors based on the Russian nuclear icebreaker experience. The ABV is a pressurized water reactor of an integral design the VBER-150 and KLT-20 are lower core power density versions of the modular 

As an example, Fig. 2 shows the ABV nuclear steam supply system layout. 

The reactors addressed in this section drive Rankine steam cycles options are provided for turbine extraction-driven bottoming cycles for district heating and potable water production.
