A system for providing mobile electric power includes a first transport including an inlet plenum and a generator, a second transport including a gas turbine, and a turbine exhaust unit, and a third transport including a generator exhaust air handling system, a combustion air handling system, and a turbine enclosure air handling system. The first transport, the second transport, and the third transport are separate transports that are independently movable in a transportation mode. In an operation mode, the first transport and the second transport are connected to each other such that a first end side of the first transport faces and is connected to a first end side of the second transport, and the inlet plenum mounted on the first transport is connected to an intake of the gas turbine mounted on the second transport. In the operation mode, the third transport is positioned at a predetermined distance relative to the connected first and second transports such that a first longitudinal side of the third transport faces a first longitudinal side of the first transport and a first longitudinal side of the second transport.

A compressor adapted for use in for a gas turbine engine includes a diffuser and a housing. The diffuser is arranged circumferentially around an axis and includes a fore plate, an aft plate spaced apart axially from the fore plate to define a flow path therebetween, and a plurality of vanes that extend between the fore plate and the aft plate. The housing is arranged circumferentially about the axis and located adjacent the diffuser.

An apparatus for providing mobile electric power includes a power generation transport. The power generation transport includes an air inlet filter housing, an inlet plenum coupled to the air inlet filter housing, an exhaust collector, an exhaust implement coupled to the exhaust collector, a gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine, and an elevating system configured to elevate the exhaust implement to convert the power generation transport to an operational mode, and lower the exhaust implement back down to convert the power generation transport to a transportation mode. The elevating system performs the elevating and the lowering without utilizing any external mechanical apparatus. The air inlet filter housing, the inlet plenum, the exhaust collector, the exhaust implement, the gas turbine, the generator, and the elevating system are mounted on the power generation transport.
