Abstract

A turbine power plant includes power generation apparatuses divided into a plurality of modules, a common base mounting thereon the power generation apparatuses and a supporting apparatus for supporting the common base. The common base is constructed so as to be commonly used as a part of a transportation vehicle and as a frame of the power plant.

Claims

1. A turbine power plant comprising:

power generation apparatuses divided into a plurality of modules,

a common base for mounting thereon said power generation apparatuses, and

a support device for supporting said common base, characterized in that

said common base is constructed so that it is used both as a part of a transportation vehicle transporting said common base and as a support frame of said power plant used at a position separated from said transportation vehicle,

a sliding mechanism is provided for sliding said power generation apparatuses divided into said plurality of modules and mounting said power generation apparatuses on said common base, and

said power generation apparatuses divided into said plurality of modules are assembled on said common base used as said support frame by moving each of said plurality of modules on said common base and positioning said each module by said sliding mechanism.

2. A turbine power plant according to claim 1, wherein said part of the transportation vehicle is for mounting thereon and transporting at least one of said plurality of modules.
