ADDRESSING THE NEED TO PROVIDE POWER TO DATA CENTERS REQUIRING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF POWER TO SUPPORT ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE “AI” CONFRONTED WITH THE LACK OF ADEQUATE UTILITY SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE

THE PROBLEM
The existing power grid is currently unable to provide sufficient electrical power to US communities, requiring substantial upgrades at massive capital expenditure.

A utility can only make money from subscribers in exchange for electricity. The metrics are simple. It is advantageous to the utility to seek partnerships to produce electricity from technology providers who can augment current service delivery. Customers cannot wait until 2026-27 or further. Period. Full Stop.

The impact on new construction and their businesses depends on reliable electrical services 24 x 7 x 365. The requirement for electrical subscribers to turn off power for up to 150 hours per year is typically part of voluntary "interruptible" or "demand response" programs offered by utility companies, primarily in the United States, particularly in California and other regions. These are usually commercial or industrial programs, not for residential subscribers.

Data Centers cannot simply turn off power to critical systems. Moreover, buildings constructed at great capital expense in Silicon Valley sit idle because there is no power.

THE SOLUTION
Solar is simply not practical and operates at only 20%-22% efficiency. Alternative Point-of-Use, purpose built MicroGrid systems that operate 100% independent of the grid can be provisioned in less than one year and address local power deficiencies . For example, these systems can use hydrogen, ammonia, natural gas, diesel, jet fuel, or bio-fuel as a source.

Turboran base equipment configurations with a very small footprint start at 2-20’ containers that can produce up to 20MW. Multiple units (with no single point of failure) can produce GW power. They can be installed at utility power sub-stations or in locations with very limited grid services. Utilities are unable to meet the current demand resulting in potential lost revenue.They will need to invest in facilities that will take years to come online. We welcome partnerships with utilities looking to augment delivery via Alternative Point-of-Use systems.

Data Centers hosting AI systems use millions of gallons of water per day and large quantities of electricity.

Green Technology Global offers an Off-Grid solution comprising a customized Industrial Atmospheric Water Generator that is 100% independent of groundwater coupled with our proprietary Water Vapor Recovery technology that creates a 360 degree closed loop system.

The minimum configuration comprises 2-20' Containters will generate from 1MW, 5MW, 10MW up to 20MW of Off-Grid Power expandable to multiple clustered Giga Watts of power with no Single Point of Failure. The ambient noise from the jet engine operating at idle is between 70dB and 90dB max.

It is feasible to install the Turbofans in underground vaults to protect from high winds or fire. The engine exhaust from the generator exits through enclosed or sealed ductwork. The ductwork is designed to enclose heat exchangers for added efficiency. The exhaust can be captured in sealed ductwork after it leaves the generator.

The Turbofans can be custom-configured to accommodate green fuels (hydrogen and ammonia) and  biomass as well as fossil fuels.

Excess electrical power can be sold back to the utility.

Using turbofans to generate off-grid power is an unconventional but potentially viable idea under specific circumstances. Turbofans are primarily designed for aircraft propulsion, but their underlying technology—gas turbines—has established use in power generation.

Here's a breakdown of advantages if turbofan engines or their core gas turbines are repurposed for off-grid power generation:

✅ Advantages of Using Turbofans (or Their Cores) for Off-Grid Power Generation



1. High Power-to-Weight Ratio Turbofans, like all jet engines, are built to produce a lot of power for their size and weight. In remote locations where transportation of heavy equipment is difficult, this lightweight aspect is advantageous.
2. Rapid Start-Up and Response Time Jet engines can be started quickly and can ramp up to full power fast, ideal for emergency or backup power.
3. Compact and Modular Design Turbofan cores can be repackaged into compact, containerized power units. Multiple units can be installed in parallel to scale output as needed.
4. Fuel Flexibility Turbofan engines can run on various liquid fuels (jet fuel, diesel, kerosene), and modified turbines can use natural gas or biofuels. This is useful in areas with limited fuel options.
5. Proven Reliability and Engineering Aircraft-grade turbofans are built with high precision and reliability, often designed to operate for thousands of hours with minimal failure. Military and aerospace surplus engines are sometimes repurposed for rugged environments.
6. High Efficiency at Scale (in Core Turbine) While turbofans themselves are optimized for thrust, the gas turbine core can be adapted with a power turbine and generator for electricity. Some adapted units (e.g., Rolls-Royce, GE aero-derivative turbines) have high thermal efficiency (up to 40% or more).
7. Continuous Power Production Unlike solar or wind, gas turbines can run continuously, providing stable base-load power regardless of weather or time of day.
8. Dual-Use Potential In specific scenarios (like remote airbases or mining operations), a turbofan could support both power generation and auxiliary propulsion.

✅ Real-World Example Aero-derivative gas turbines (based on jet engine cores, like GE LM2500 or Rolls-Royce Trent) are widely used in mobile power plants, offshore oil rigs, and military bases.

⚠️ Important Considerations While there are advantages, using actual turbofans for stationary power is rare. More common is using the gas turbine core, without the bypass fan, as it is more efficient and practical for generating electricity.
