OblinArk, also called hydrokinetic power barge, utilises floating water wheels as a form of hydropower that converts the energy of Run-of-the-river hydroelectricity (ROR) into electricity generation.

Although water wheel technology has been in use for centuries, a more updated approach to the use of water wheels has not yet been fully exploited and with the available incentives from the Feed-in tariff Scheme (FITs), there is now an opportunity for a relatively low cost, flexible solution.
With government incentives to allow microgeneration to compete fairly with big scale energy production. For decentralisation of scaled energy generation to happen at scale; customers must have easy access to micro generation.
With an abundant flow of water from rivers which are more predictable than wind energy and solar power, hydrokinetic generation has excellent potential.
