Unfortunately, your power supply impedance is a 
bit too low for TC service.  At that power level
180,000 V at 25 A would be more preferable as the
prime power source, IMO.
Standard generators are available off the shelf
that could power this unit, such as the 5.0 MW
Allison 501 Twin Gas Turbine.  such a unit can
be had in used condition for about $490,000 USD.
