Abstract
A floating platform for providing electrical power to a requester of electrical power includes a power generator structured to produce electrical power in excess of 1 Megavolt-Ampere (MVA), at least one high-voltage electrical connector that is structured to couple to an electrical connection from the requester, and a power delivery system that is structured to supply the electrical power in excess of 1 MVA to the requester through the high-voltage electrical connector. The power generator may be turned by an engine running on biofuel. Methods of supplying power from a floating platform to a requesting vessel are also described.

A floating platform for providing electrical power to a requester of electrical power, the floating platform comprising:
- a power generator structured to produce electrical power in excess of 1 Megavolt-Ampere (MVA);
- at least one high-voltage electrical connector that is structured to couple to an electrical connection from the requester;
- and
- a power delivery system that is structured to supply the electrical power in excess of 1 MVA to the requester through the high-voltage electrical connector.
A floating platform for providing electrical power to a requester of electrical power, the floating platform comprising:
- a hull having a port side and a starboard side;
- an engine that uses a biofuel;
- a power generator coupled to the engine and structured to produce electrical power in excess of 1 Megavolt-Ampere (MVA);
- at least one high-voltage electrical connector according to an IEC/IEEE 80005 standard that is coupled to the power generator and further structured to couple to an electrical connection from the requester;
- and
- a power delivery system that is structured to supply the electrical power in excess of 1 MVA to the requester through the high-voltage electrical connector.
A method for providing electrical power from a floating platform to a requester of electrical power, the method comprising:
- coupling at least one high-voltage electrical connector according to an IEC/IEEE 80005 standard between the floating platform and the requester;
- producing in excess of 1 Megavolt-Ampere of electrical power on board the floating platform;
- and
- causing the electrical power produced on board the floating platform to be communicated to the requester through the at least one high-voltage electrical connector.
