On-site Power Generation for Data Centers: How Gas Turbines Deliver Maximum Availability

This Siemens Gas and Power white paper examines on-site generation of electricity and cooling for data centers as an alternative to reliance on a constrained or unreliable external grid. Its main focus is on modular gas-turbine solutions, including open-cycle and combined-cycle configurations, combined heat and power (CHP) with absorption cooling, redundancy, and operational lifecycle considerations. The paper also outlines approaches to planning, EPC delivery, service, and decarbonization through biofuels and hydrogen.
