Modular skid base
First Claim
1. A power generation system and skid base combination comprising:
- a prime mover;
a generator; and
a skid base supporting the prime mover and the generator, the skid base including;
a pair of first support members, each of the first support members having an inner surface along a length of the respective first support members and an outer surface along the length of the respective first support members,a pair of second support members coupled to the first support members, each of the second support members having an inner surface along a length of the respective second support members and an outer surface along the length of the respective second support members,wherein a portion of the inner surface of each of the second support members overlaps a portion of the outer surface of each of the first support members to form an overlapping section that extends along a length direction of the of the first and second support members, the overlapping section having a length that defines a resonant frequency of the skid base with the prime mover and the driven machine that is outside of an operating frequency of the prime mover.

Abstract
A modular skid base is provided for supporting, for example, a power generation system that includes a prime mover (e.g., an engine) and a driven machine (e.g., an alternator; a generator; a compressor; a pump; a gear drive for, for example, heavy industrial applications; or any other type of load device). The modular skid base includes a pair of first support skid rails and a pair of second support skid rails. The modular skid base also includes an overlapping section that includes a portion of the second support skid rails overlapping a portion of the first support skid rails along a length direction of the modular skid base. The overlapping section can provide stiffness where required without adding height and mass to the entire modular skid base.
