time to add these next to highways

I'm from Forney and didn't even know this existed!

i love this asset but it never gets oil delivieries no matter where i place it

thank you

@mizrael77 i think doel nuclear beats this bro, .
.

5 years later and this is still the best power station in the game. Realistic, easy to build while remaining realistic, scalable, adequate production.

Natural Gas Combustion Turbine stat:
Power output: 228MW
Upkeep: 2682

Natural Gas Combined Cycle stat:
Power output: 456MW
Upkeep 5365

Why the actual stat is not match the table?

heck yeah, this is the perfect thing to place next to my elementary school which is conveniently located in a floodplain with my residential neighborhood.

very nice work!

I found the wikipedia article for this power station: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forney_Energy_Center

that means you have oil power plants, you cant have more then one of a power plant that uses ore, oil, etc.

It doesn't work for me...Somewhere it says it needs oil-deliveries. If it needs deliveries why isn't natural gas implanted in the game as a resource ?

cool

The up-front construction cost IRL is actually less than nuclear. A 955 MW Natural Gas plant only costs about 900 Million USD. It's cheaper than Solar and Wind even.

Nuclear is super-cheap too, just not in the US or Europe cause we screwed up our industry and regulations. South Korea though... they do awesome at it.

@Badi_Dea do you know of any assets on the workshop that resemble the cooling units (at least I assume that's what they are) behind the real power plant in Forney?

what are the gas tanks in the background called?

I'd imagine it's just a door to bring large equipment and machines into the facility, not too sure - they're present on the real thing

@Badi-Dea : Hey mate, what's the little building at the entrance? Just wanted to recreate what you've done here. Thanks!

best E-Assets out there and thank you for creating this :)

Im lost for words for how good this is!

Thanks for the quick info!

Thanks all! Yes, this does need oil deliveries.

This is a very nice asset. One question: does this need oil deliveries?

I love how accurate this is! It looks almost identical to the real one! I live about 10-20 minutes away from the one this is modeled after! (I live so close I can see the smoke from the plant)

You're assets quallity are as good a ngons, Keep up the great work!

very. very nice! gonna fill out my water treatment area with these

@Badi_Dea thank you for explanation :)

@Overlord : That's just a unit value in the editor, it doesn't necessarily translate into a currency amount 1:1. For example, the stock Nuke plant with no mods actually has a maintenance cost of 50,000.

I don't have an exact currency amount for the costs of this building since there are so many mods that could change it, I figured it be best just to list what I put in the editor.
The cost value for these buildings is the same as the nuke plant per unit of electricity generated.

The maintenance is really 33 530 ? I mean that is heavy hit on balance if you are not playing with unlimited money mod. Nuclear plant costs 8000 and electricity produced by this is not bad.

Thanks, I am going to use this and that in my city.

no, that's meingott's asset, found here: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=639653706&searchtext=

Does this come with those power lines in the first picture?

Nice, i need this asset for my large power plant and harbor project. Yay!

@Badi_Dea : Appreciated!

I really like these power plants, and the oil refinery looks interesting too. More distinct (and bigger than 4x4) assets is always welcomed. Keep up the good work!

@Casgar & @ololololol : Alright, I'll move it up in the priority list - a team of us at Simtropolis are working on an oil refinery I'll find a way to squeeze it into that project, follow the progress here: http://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/71613-i-want-to-make-an-oil-refinery-anyone-know-anything-about-the-petroleum-industry/

I support ololololol's suggestion! The ability to have an asset, or modify an already existing asset to produce both heat and electricity is something that I've wanted for some time. The distribution between electricity:heat is somewhere around 1:2 in most cases, but can vary based on the type of power plant in question. A combined cycle can reach 1:1.

Regarding Combined Cycle, it refers to the use of a gas turbine as its primary power production, and a boiler which uses the hot exaust gas from the gas turbine to produce steam for a steam turbine. It doesn't take into account if you use the waste heat for district heating or not.

An example of a power plant that produces both electricity and district heating in a combined cycle is Rya CHP Plant in Gothenburg, Sweden.

/Random information from a person in the energy sector. :)

Cool! Thanks!

Oh hey, that's not a bad idea! - It would need the sub-building enabled mod to be functional as both power and heating, but totally doable. Probably not going to tackle it with this asset, but I'll throw the idea on to the heap of project plans, thanks!

I haven't fidled around much with the editor and didn't see a way to do it myself. In real life there many plants (mostly in regions where central heating is needed) where you produce electricity from natural gas, coal, biomass and the heat that is also made in the process is feeded to homes in need of central heating. Would have been nice to have it in the game too, so you don't have to make separate power plants and heating plants.

Ah, from what I understand, that is another name for combined-cycle, right?
Since the game doesn't get that detailed, you kinda have to justify it in your head, but the larger module in this asset produces the same polution as the smaller one, they both have only one combustion turbine, but it produces twice the power - the waste heat from the turbine is fed into a traditional steam generator.

Cogeneration (Combined Heat and Power or CHP) is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat, both of which are used.

@ololololol Sure, what is it? lol

Looks absolutely amazing. Outstanding work!

Cool, would it be possible to make this one into a cogeneration plant?

i live not to far from this plant

One of the best assets on the workshop, looks awsome!
I would follow but your profile is private.

Cool man

Thanks folks! I appreciate the comments, i'm just glad you all like it :-)

My god youre a natural. This is so good. Thanks !

Wow! This looks fantastic. Well done and thanks for sharing. :)
