Looks like the smart flower is an excellent option for emergency power. For when you need to have power right now. and it would cost next to nothing to remove and redeploy somewhere else. Add in some batteries and you could power a city fair or other temporary extravaganza. Or even provide emergency power when a substation gets knocked out by a disaster.

oh, i know that building.....inside and out.

Thank you, your meaning is crystal to me. I guess mine wasn't so much. What I should have said more plainly was. Let's get the mod completed as it is intended to be before we look at adding more to it. The Fusion Power Plant, which is already included in the mod, is enough of a nod to future power development for now. (and it is probably included because it is a Maxis Original Powerplant.) After the mod is completed, if someone else want's to figure how to add other futuristic power systems then go for it. By then you will have a functional mod to work with. But for now that is not what is planned for this mod. This is such an ambitious mod that I fully expect there will be mod mods for it after it is released.

Maybe after the Mod is finished and release there could be add-ons that include new ideas such a Microwave, Antimatter, Mana etc. as alternate power sources.

SPA sounds good to me.

PGMM (Power Grid Management Mod) or does it need to be a pronounceable acronym? SPAGM (Simtropolis or SimCity Power And Grid Management) mod GAP (Grid and Power) mod RFAPGAMMOD (Roberta's Fabulously Awesome Power Grid and Management Mod of Doom) SARNPTFAASAPAAGMOD (Simtropolis And Roberta Now Present The Fabulously Awesome And Stupendously Amazing Power Authority And Grid Management Mod Of Doom)

There are many folks here that want to see this project success. You don't have to do it alone. This is an opportunity to learn from those that know how to code and I am sure that there are a few that would be happy to help. All you have to do is ask. You have already succeeded at the majority of what you wanted to accomplish. Please don't give up.

I think I like the idea of not having a cluttered interface. You could provide in the description on a transformer what you would need to upgrade to the next transformer level.

That is SO beautiful.

Your not stupid. your the smartest person I know, and that anyone I know knows. I know you will fix this. I'll help you out in any way I can. See you tomorrow.

So on one hand I was thinking that some level of Industry would represent the basic infrastructure to supply even these plants with fuel. Since SC4D doesn't model resources, this was my best idea. however I realized that by the time you would plant even your first Transmission Substation you would most likely have that little bit of industry already. Or the level on industry needed would be soo small that you would still get the spam either when you build the transmission station or when you built your first industry. so net result...extra complication for no real gain. I think your on the right track with your solution.

The narrow white box is the Inverter. Thus one Inverter for each of 4 Powerpacks. Each inverter can handle up to 10 Powerpacks for a total of 700kVA at 480V. here are the Dimensions for reference. Powerpack Unit Length: 1,317 mm (50.9 in) Width: 968 mm (38.1 in) Height: 2,187 mm (86.1 in) Weight: 2,199 kg (4,847 lbs) Powerpack Inverter Length: 1,044 mm (41.1 in) Width: 1,394 mm (54.9 in) Height: 2,191 mm (86.2 in) Weight (max): 1,120 kg (2,470 lbs) I think you are right that the green box is related to the Wind Farm. perhaps some kind of Transformer to deal with power spikes from wind gusts or some such. I don't see them on a solar setup.

I was thinking of the problem mention about getting inundated with reports when placing the first Transmission Station. I was wondering if there were more perquisites needed to build the large power plants this might help spread them out. The Idea I had was that the large Coal, Oil and Natural Gas power plants may need a certain level of Industrial population, either local or regional, to represent the infrastructure to supply them with needed resources. maybe they could also provide an industrial demand. My thought is that the advisors wouldn't tell you about the power plants that you can build unless all prerequisites were met.
