I think the implementation of the power plant will be somewhat different than John Rivera may invision it today. The P&W mobile powerpacks are designed for emergency power replacement after disasters or site power applications for very remote mining or oil drilling installations. Hence, each package would arrive with its own controls and paralleling systems that would be redundant; where a master DCS control system would be better applied for system management. It would also save a boatload of money to rack the same turbine generators inside of nice, new metal buildings where the overhead could support the piping and ductwork, as opposed to taking delivery of Elebenty-Sevan stand-alone, self-contained, powerpack modules that need to have individual footings and outdoor piping systems - baking in the LA or MS sun. Then, you have to start looking at the physics and practicality of the thermal dynamics. You DO NOT want to throw away all that perfectly good 'waste heat' from those gas turbines; nor will the EnviroWackos probably allow it. The solution is a Combined Cycle facility where the gas turbine exhausts are directed to fin-tube auxiliary boilers that make steam that will in turn drive steam-turbine generators operating in parallel with the 'jets'. I worked on a facility exactly like that just NE of Richmond in Virgina. Nooter-Erickson of St Louis makes the boilers that the project will need to capitalize on the waste heat, and GE makes the steam-turbine generators. I think we all have to appreciate that John Rivera is basically the multi-hatted, Entrepreneur, Mad Scientist & Part-time Marketing Guy. And, the reality of proper large-scale power plant design is probably not one of his major forte's. 1000 Megawatts is almost 3 times the size of your typical 450MW 'cookie cutter' coal-fired powerhouse, and those blot out a big portion of the sky when you get within 1/2 mile of them (..aka: huge..). But, everything is certainly moving in the right direction. This is exactly what the USA sorely needs many rubber stampings of 'across the fruited plains'..!!! John :-) .
