2015-07-11 00:00 <DocScrutinizer05> honestly. A tent camp. With a *continuous* (resp average) power consumption of 500W per person. BWAHAHAHA
2015-07-11 00:02 <DocScrutinizer05> maybe they want to operate their 100 showers all with electric water flow heating
2015-07-11 00:03 <DocScrutinizer05> that indeed would add up to 2.5MW
2015-07-11 00:11 <wpwrak> hmm, those heaters tend to be in the 3-6 kW range. so there would be your first 0.5 MW.
2015-07-11 00:13 <wpwrak> and they seem to expect to run them pretty much around the clock. so add lighting, then PCs, TVs and projectors at villages, etc., the big tents, probably with AC, ...
2015-07-11 00:17 <wpwrak> and with 8 generators, they may want to have 1-2 spares. so if 8 deliver 2.5 MW, 6 are 1.9 MW. maybe there are some operational limitations as well. e.g., if it's very hot, they may not be able to deliver the maximum nominal power.
2015-07-11 00:19 <wpwrak> if generators feed separate grids, your peak / average ratio becomes even worse

2015-07-11 09:52 <DocScrutinizer05> nobody operates heaters from generator
2015-07-11 09:53 <DocScrutinizer05> electrical heating should get forbidden anyway
2015-07-11 10:05 <wpwrak> we'll need a lot more co2 in the atmosphere before that becomes an option :)
