While floating power stations have been around since the mid-90s, reinventing them with today\u2019s efficient, low environmental impact technologies is a first. SeaFloat does just that. And it\u2019s proving very popular.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hamed Hossain explains the recent resurgence in demand for floating power plants: \u201cWe are putting highly efficient combined cycle power plants on a barge. So far, these have only been on land. And we can include a battery on the barge as well, that\u2019s also new. In this way, we can always ensure maximum grid efficiency. Additionally we are able to provide the entire value chain installed on a fully integrated vessel with LNG storage, regasification and power unit.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHamed is proud to see various departments, such as the industrial gas turbine engineering and manufacturing team in Finspong, Sweden, or the steam turbine innovation campus in Goerlitz, Germany, working together harmoniously, tackling the weight of the power plant, modularity and customer needs: \u201cSiemens Energy is a great environment to develop new ideas. Having the support of top management and the support of each team member makes the difference. The SeaFloat team has a strong connection built on friendship.\u201d\n\n \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Dominican Republic capital of Santo Domingo sits at the mouth of the Ozama River. It is one of the Caribbean\u2019s oldest cities, and with 3.3 million inhabitants, it\u2019s also the most populous. Over the past decade alone, this burgeoning, bustling melting pot has added around 700,000 inhabitants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With 1,600km of sandy coastline, national parks and dramatic mountain ranges, the Dominican Republic is the most popular tourist destination in the Caribbean. Santo Domingo, however, is also among the world\u2019s cities that are most at risk of rising sea levels caused by climate change. By 2050, parts of the city could be under water. A water-based power plant could be one very valuable asset.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hamed explains: \u201cIt\u2019s more ecological and economical, and combined cycle power plants are not as maintenance-intensive as other plants, so downtimes are reduced.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pushing on, despite a pandemic<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe power plant has now arrived at its destination in the Caribbean and been placed in its final position on the Ozama River. Construction, however, was carried out more than 17,000 kilometers away in Singapore. With a multinational task force working on engineering, manufacturing, construction and commissioning, the project team had to develop Estrella del Mar III amid the coronavirus pandemic.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0\u201cOur construction team faced a lot of challenges,\u201d Hamed says. \u201cThere were many restrictions concerning the local job market.
Dormitories were closed for many months, and there were entry restrictions in Singapore, which affected our specialists and suppliers from around the world. Despite this, we still managed to pull together to make this project happen.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Jakob Tyroller, General Project Manager of the Estrella del Mar III, says work continued despite the restrictions: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t possible to fly to Singapore to have face-to-face meetings. I compensated with a lot of calls and live meetings. Many of them were early in the morning or late in the evening. We all had to be flexible. Clear communication between the teams is important, especially if you can\u2019t meet in person. Plus, not flying around the world once a month was certainly appreciated by my family!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
