Patent ID: 8857781

Claim:
A power generation system and skid base combination comprising: a prime mover; a generator; and a skid base supporting the prime mover and the generator, the skid base including: a pair of first support members, each of the first support members having an inner surface along a length of the respective first support members and an outer surface along the length of the respective first support members, a pair of second support members coupled to the first support members, each of the second support members having an inner surface along a length of the respective second support members and an outer surface along the length of the respective second support members, wherein a portion of the inner surface of each of the second support members overlaps a portion of the outer surface of each of the first support members to form an overlapping section that extends along a length direction of the of the first and second support members, the overlapping section having a length that defines a resonant frequency of the skid base with the prime mover and the driven machine that is outside of an operating frequency of the prime mover.
