Abstract: Systems, methods, and building block modules for modular power generation facilities are disclosed. A modular power generation facility includes a plurality of primary modules and a control system. Each primary module includes eight primary corners and an interior space. The modules are positioned in a vertical stack and are attached together to form a substantially modular enclosure for the generation of electricity. The modules include gen-set modules, each having an engine-generator and a fuel tank disposed in the interior, and a switchgear module having switchgear ganged to the gen-set modules. The control system communicates with the gen-set modules to coordinate the engine-generators as a unit and to control the loading of each of the generators in response to a power load demand. The control system is disposed in one or more of the primary modules with at least part of the control system being disposed in the switchgear module.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and building block modules for modular power generation facilities are disclosed. A method of erecting a modular power generation facility includes producing a plurality of primary modules, each including a housing adapted from an intermodal shipping container having posts, rails, and sills connected together by shipping container corner castings; shipping the primary modules, which include gen-set modules and a switchgear module, to an installation location; positioning the primary modules in a vertical stack; attaching the primary modules to one another in the vertical stack; interconnecting the engine-generators of the one or more gen-set modules with the switchgear of the switchgear module; and operating the engine-generators and the switchgear to provide electricity to a transformer connected to the switchgear in response to a power load demand.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and building block modules for modular power generation facilities are disclosed. A multi-stack modular power generation facility includes first and second pluralities of primary modules and first and second control systems. The first modules are positioned in a first stack to form a first vertical enclosure; the second modules are positioned in a second stack to form a second vertical enclosure; and the first and second modules each include gen-set modules, each with an engine-generator, and a switchgear module ganged to the gen-set modules. Each control system communicates with the respective gen-set modules to coordinate the engine-generators as a unit and to control the loading of each of the generators in response to a power load demand. The second plurality of primary modules are disposed immediately adjacent the first plurality of primary modules such that the second vertical enclosure abuts the first vertical enclosure.
