Solar Turbines

Key Areas Addressed:

  1. Gas turbines technologies provide infrastructure solutions enabling datacenters to be grid independent with High fuel efficiency minimizing fuel cost and reduced CO2 and GHG and with H2 ready technology for the fuel transition.
  2. Waste heat from the turbine exhaust provides cooling for data loads and gives an overall greater plant efficiency than the grid”
  3.  Solar Gas Turbine technology coupled with Solar Turbines long term service provides operation, maintenance and availability levels of over 99%
  4.  Highly flexible gas turbines allow full support of datacenter and Irish grid under the flex and DS3 services.

Key Learning Outcomes: 

  1. Gas turbines are a path to sustainability, future proofing for renewable fuel usage and a route to support net zero
  2. Gas turbine power quality is an unrecognised benefit for datacenters
  3. Cooling and heating are by product of Gas Turbines reducing the C02 impact of Gas Turbine power generation
  4. High efficiency energy security, which does not rely on the grid for business continuity and growth but also a part of and support a sustainable Irish grid.
