What Is A Power Barge?
A power barge is an unmotorized power-ship that has a power plant installed on the deck barge of a ship. “Floating power plants” or “barge-mounted power plants” are two common nicknames for it. Developed during World War II by General Electric, they were initially manufactured for the War Production Board as a transportable large-scale power generation source.
Single or multiple gas turbines, reciprocating diesel and gas engines, boilers, or nuclear reactors for generating electricity can all be equipped onto a power barge. This equipment is similar to a power-ship, with the difference being that a power-ship is an existing ship that has been modified for power generation. Here, a power plant is installed and serves as a power generation source.
