Emergency mobile-to stationary electric power plant
First Claim
1. A mobile power plant for supplying emergency electrical power to buildings comprising a) a hybrid motor-generator vehicle adapted for conversion to stationary power supply service by fixed-site operation of the said motor-generator means, b) an electrical service entry means for switchably connecting pre-existing demand back and forth between usual site power supply and this emergency plant, said entry comprising only minor site construction which may or may not require permitting, depending on jurisdiction, and c) pre-engineered and pre-qualified power adaptation and transmission means freed by such pre-engineering and pre-qualification of certain requirements for site construction and associated delays of engineering plan preparation, submission, review, hearing, and/or permitting.
