Fljótsdals hydroelectric plant
The Fljótsdals hydroelectric plant (Fljótsdalsstöð, also known as the Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant) is a 690 MW underground station in eastern Iceland, Iceland's largest, built mainly to supply Alcoa's aluminum smelter.
FLNG
FLNG, or floating liquefied natural gas, is a moored offshore vessel that extracts, liquefies, stores, and offloads LNG at sea, replacing a pipeline to shore and an onshore plant.
Float-out
A float-out is a ship-launching method in which a vessel built in a dry dock is set afloat by flooding the dock, then moved by tugs to an outfitting berth.
Floating base dynamics
Floating base dynamics describes the equations of motion of robots whose base, such as a humanoid torso, has no physical joint to the world, making the system underactuated.
Floating dry dock
A floating dry dock is a buoyant, submersible structure that sinks to receive a ship, then rises and lifts it clear of the water for repairs.
Floating floor
A floating floor is a floor construction whose finish layer rests on a resilient underlay without any mechanical fixing, isolating vibration and reducing impact noise such as footsteps.
Floating frame of reference formulation
The floating frame of reference formulation (FFRF or FFR) is a multibody dynamics method that describes flexible bodies with large overall motion and small deformation using a body-fixed reference frame.
Floating launch vehicle operations platform
A floating launch vehicle operations platform is a marine vessel for launching or landing orbital rockets, from converted oil rigs to barges; Sea Launch's Odyssey pioneered it in 1999.
Floating production storage and offloading
A floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel is a ship-shaped offshore facility that processes oil from subsea wells, stores it, and offloads it to tankers.
Floating slab track
Floating slab track is a railway trackform in which a concrete slab carrying the rails sits on resilient bearings to reduce ground-borne vibration from trains.
Floating solar
Floating solar, also called floating photovoltaics (FPV) or floatovoltaics, installs solar panels on floating structures on lakes, reservoirs, and ponds, saving land and cooling panels for higher yields.
Floating storage and regasification unit
A floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) is a ship moored at an LNG import terminal that stores LNG, regasifies it, and sends gas to the onshore pipeline network.
Floating wind turbine
A floating wind turbine is an offshore turbine mounted on a buoyant, moored platform for waters too deep for fixed foundations, first demonstrated off Norway in 2009.
Floating zone method
The floating zone method is a crucible-free crystal growth technique in which a molten zone passed through a rod solidifies single crystals of silicon and other materials.
Floating-body effect
The floating-body effect is a set of electrical phenomena in silicon-on-insulator transistors arising from the isolated body, causing kink and history effects while enabling capacitor-less 1T DRAM cells.
