ABSTRACT:
A hydroelectric power generating plant includes separate intake and power generating barges spanning a dam, and a penstock attached to and between the barges to enable fluid communication over the dam and between the barges. In constructing the power generating plant, the barges are constructed remotely at a convenient manufacturing facility and floated to the dam site over water. At the dam site the barges are positioned so as to span the dam, making use of a lock system associated with the dam, and moored in position. The barges may be floated adjacent to opposite side of the dam, or grounded, making use of discrete moorings associated with the dam site and/or the dam itself.
