  • Publication number: 20110227344
    Abstract: The present invention includes a system for generating electrical power which may include a data center including at least one equipment which requires electrical power, a renewable power source to generate renewable electric power, a motor to receive the electrical power and to operate a compressor to compress a fluid, a storage device to store the compressed fluid, and a turbine to convert the compressed fluid to operate an electrical generator. The electrical generator may generate electricity to be used by the data center and the storage device may be an underground cavern. The renewable power source may supply electricity directly to the data center, and the turbine may be a high-pressure turbine. The turbine may receive natural gas, and the turbine may be a low-pressure turbine. The system may include a recuperator to receive waste heat from the data center, and the system may include a recuperator to receive waste heat from the turbine.
