I = square root(100^2 + 30^2 + 30^2) = 109A
Power = 109A * 120V = 13 kW
15 kW should be fine.

A 15KW will be fine- people rarely use the full capacity of their electrical system. I've run 10 rigs off a 30KW genset with regularly with no problems.
15 KW is actually more power than I have ever used in my all electric house and shop, with several rigs plugged in.
