Coal Power

Built for Update 3
_vU3.1.0

These blueprints cover Power Generations II, III, and IV. Each generation has its own frame and channel blueprints. The frame serves as just that - a frame to install the channel blueprints, supplies the needed water & coal, and provides egress for any byproducts. The channel blueprint is one complete power channel that fits into its respective frame. Together they compromise the power plant. Each generation is set to take precedence in power production over the previous generation(s). That way, when you install a new generation's power plant, it will immediately take over handling power consumption. This provides a graceful transition and decommission process as you proceed through the generations. See each generation's details below.

Also included is an experimental design combining the builds for Power Generation II and Power Generation III. You can find instructions at: https://imgur.com/a/coal-power-experimental-power-plant-BKX540V.

Efficiency improves as you progress through the generations of coal power, as shown in the table below:

Consumption / Pollution Per Megawatt

^ If Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur storage are not emptied and get full the smokestack and burner produce 96 pollution per minute, or 0.8 pollution per megawatt.

Each frame can support up to 4 power shafts of the same generation.

Power Generation II (PG2)

Each channel provides 8 MW of power for a combined output of 32 MW.

Output

Power Generation III (PG3)

Each channel provides 12 MW of power for a combined output of 48 MW. Note: Make sure to connect water ingress to the pipe balancer rather than directly to the water storage.

Power Generation IV (PG4)

Each channel provides 30 MW of power for a combined output of 120 MW. Note: Make sure to connect water ingress to the pipe balancer rather than directly to the water storage.
