Abstract
A mobile waterborne energy platform systems and methods comprising a purpose built marine vessel, a pre fabricated building structure, a plurality of fuel cells or generators, a plurality of fuel tanks, a plurality of mechanical equipment, a plurality of electrical equipment and a method to transmit electrical power to shore or to another marine vessel. The mobile waterborne energy platform systems and methods described may be employed to quickly provide utility grade electrical power to remote austere locations. The electrical power may be produced by a plurality of fuel cells or generators configured on a mobile waterborne vessel that may be transported to remote areas to provide an on site electrical power source for critical infrastructure, communications, emergency or medical facilities. The systems and methods are ideal for military purposes where troops may be deployed in remote locations without readily available utility grade electrical power.
