View original imageThe floating power generation facility is an offshore installation equipped with a power generation engine that produces electricity at sea and supplies it to shore. It can be used in locations where building power infrastructure on land is difficult or in places that require large-scale electricity, such as data centers and industrial complexes.
The facility developed by HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore is based on a medium-sized HiMSEN engine and can supply up to 100MW of power. With this approval, the company has secured basic certification for key technologies, including the basic conceptual design, electrical single-line diagrams, and stability review.
HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore plans to enter the floating power generation facility market after completing detailed designs and obtaining subsequent certifications. The company views the growing electricity demand, driven by the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and data center expansion, as a market opportunity, especially given that building land-based power plants is restricted due to site acquisition and environmental regulations.
