I made this power plant using exactly 4 brain cells so it looks disgusting. I've stressed the power plant for hours and nothing ending up not having resources or backing up so it's balanced in terms of working as intended. I tried to find a beam receiver power plant blueprint and found nothing. So here's my garbage design.
Based on some quick and inaccurate testing at full load 4GW the plant destroys about 3000 water a minute. This should be as cost-effective for water as possible. Unless you're on a planet with water and are pumping water into the bottom storage then you will have to add water to storage. I don't know if the water lost scales 1:1 with power production, I would assume so but I'm way too lazy to test it.
The Tanks at the bottom are for water storage for if your on a waterless planet. The constant combinators are only there to show you where to pipe in water for the system to use. Do not add water to the system anywhere else. It will cause a clog of water. The 9 storage tanks will add water to the main tank which distributes water to the heat exchangers but only when the main storage has less than 50000 water in it.
I am not a factorio pro so please don't judge my piping job too harshly. This is the best I can do
