Realistic Power Modification (RPM mod)

Sweet. How realistic is the 24-hour Solar plant outputs? You might get partial coverage for 4 hours or so. If someone enables the After Dark Day/Night cycles, would it be more interesting if the Solar plants can go dark at night?

In which local file do you go to make this modifications? I would like to do my owns

I'm just about to try this one

I hope you update it soon!

is it possible to add a meltdown chance in NPP's for instance if power grid is not fully funded the risk goes up?

Spoiler alert, the original solarpower in the game is 3000 times to powerful than real life.

It is time to update this mod, I am working on new calculations and have plans to implement a scale factor in the calculations. I will read all inputs again and take them in to the calculations. And I will make the scale factor an option because without it all solar power in the game will be totally useless if made realistic. Expect new version soon...

Cost of coal as fuel: about $30 per Mwh in US dollars. Labor adds another $20. Maintenance, parts, etc, adds another $10 or $12. Market conditions change quickly--fuel cost was double that when oil was $120/bbl but I digress.
Using this metric, A 200MVA boiler would have an upkeep of $2.1 million per week. A 1000:1 converstion to CS currency makes it about 2100 per week. For water usage, enthalpy of vaporization (to get liquid water to boil, pressurize, and do work) -- about 3 cubic meters per kwh, or about 100,000 cubic meters per week for a 200MVA boiler, which, interestingly, is about one pumping station.

One dedicated pumping station to supply a 200MVA coal-fired boiler, except that boiling water to make steam put a turbine in motion is inherently inefficient. So figure three pumping stations.

i hope you add the fact that coal and oil is not endless and nuctear thing needs rare materials and if it dont have enough water it exlodes :D

Another bit of info regarding coal and nuclear: a 1000MVA generator uses about 1000 cubic feet per second (you read that right) of water, or about 7000 gallons per second. These have to be near a good-sized river. trying to supply a large boiler with utility water would be an exercise in futility.

FWIW, 99% of the water used goes right back in the river just as clean as it was (maybe cleaner). The rest goes out the cooling towers, much of which falls as rain or snow and (surprise) also winds up back in the river where it came from.

For reference, the Colorado river inflow to lake mead averages about 20,000 cfs. The Ohio river at Cairo, Illinois discharges about 250,000 cfs into the Mississippi.
