So I was goofing off on google maps when I found this : http://goo.gl/maps/4GyiQ
I've never seen a power plant that small or set up like that so I was hoping someone in this thread had any info on an installation like this.

You can see the lines going out north-north east. From each generator you can see three sets of phase-isolated bus ducts (look like, well, ducts) going into a step-up transformer.

If you want to see a tiny nuclear plant, look for Davis Bessie. It's the cutest little power plant you've ever seen.

On the other scale, the property for the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is absolutely enormous.

It's adorable and apparently riddled with problems. Thanks for the into on the peaker plant, never seen one before but it makes a lot of sense as the main power plant for the area is about 36 miles north of it.

If you hold your hands up you can almost feel it tingle. :v: If anyone is interested I can post some other photos I grabbed of the substation.

Please do, I find substations to be oddly facinating.
