Mobile electric power generation with lateral side combustion air supply

A system for generating mobile electric power, the system comprising:

• a power generation transport comprising:
• a gas turbine;
• and
• a generator;
• an air handling transport at a first lateral side of the power generation transport, the air handling transport comprising:
• a first base frame;
• a first ventilation air module mounted to the first base frame, the first ventilation air module configured to provide filtered ventilation air to a turbine enclosure housing the gas turbine via a first ventilation air plenum;
• and
• a combustion air module mounted to the first base frame, the combustion air module configured to provide filtered combustion air to the gas turbine via a combustion air plenum;
• and
• an auxiliary transport at a second lateral side of the power generation transport opposite the first lateral side, the auxiliary transport comprising:
• a second base frame;
• and
• a second ventilation air module mounted to the second base frame, the second ventilation air module configured to provide filtered ventilation air to the turbine enclosure via a second ventilation air plenum.

A method for generating mobile electric power, the method comprising:

• inputting, from a combustion air plenum of a combustion air module mounted to a first base frame of an air handling transport at a first lateral side of a power generation transport, filtered combustion air to an intake of a gas turbine mounted on the power generation transport;
• inputting, from a first ventilation air plenum of a ventilation air module mounted to the first base frame of the air handling transport, filtered ventilation air to a first intake of a turbine enclosure for the gas turbine;
• and
• inputting, from a second ventilation air plenum of a second ventilation air module mounted to a second base frame of an auxiliary transport at a second lateral side of the power generation transport opposite the first lateral side, filtered ventilation air to a second intake of the turbine enclosure for the gas turbine.
