Abstract
A high-output main power plant comprises a coal gasifier producing a combustible fuel gas at a large volume/time output rate, at least one gas turbine fed by the fuel gas from the coal gasifier and burning same at a volume/time rate smalle=r than the output rate to produce heat and mechanical energy, at least one steam turbine fed by the heat generated by the gas turbine, and an electrical generator driven by the steam turbine. A conduit conducts the continuously produced excess fuel gas from the main plant to a remote user where there is at least one satellite plant itself comprising a gas turbine fueled from the conduit by the excess fuel gas from said main plant and burning this excess fuel gas at a volume/time rate substantially smaller than the output rate to generate mechanical energy, and another electrical generator driven by the mechanical-energy output of the gas turbine in the satellite plant.
