On-site Power Generation for Data Centres: Solving Grid Challenges with Advanced Gas Turbine Technology

The growing demand for data centre infrastructure is straining power grid capacity worldwide, threatening the reliability of operations. While diesel generators have traditionally provided backup power, they are inefficient and environmentally harmful. In contrast, cutting-edge gas turbine technology offers a more sustainable and efficient solution, enabling on-site generation of electricity and cooling for data centres. This session will explore how modern gas turbines address grid challenges, ensure high availability and reliability, and support future sustainability goals, including the potential for carbon-free fuels like hydrogen. Key takeaways of this session will include insights on the importance of customised power solutions for data centres, the benefits of gas turbines for high power density and efficiency, and the role of modular, scalable designs in meeting both operational and sustainability targets.
