Power and Data Center Development
Confidential Colocater
We act as owner’s engineer for a natural gas-fired islanded power and data center project to achieve 99.995% uptime and mission critical reliability. Our scope includes detailed design reviews, owner representation, equipment inspection services, commissioning, and performance testing oversight.
Power and Data Center Development
Confidential Colocater
We’re performing a data center off-grid power supply study, conceptually developing power supply options for gas turbine technologies in simple-cycle and/or combined-cycle projects to support a planned large data center campus. The gas turbine and an integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) facility are intended to work in tandem to provide uninterrupted, highly reliable power to the data center campus. Our scope includes evaluating various plant configurations, estimating reliability and efficiency, and layout considerations. We’re also evaluating capital and operating expenditures.
Data Center Generation Technical Basis
Confidential Hyperscaler
We developed a technical basis for carbon-free solutions to power data centers and enable future load growth. The project scope included nuclear energy, such as existing utility-scale nuclear reactors, new advanced modular reactors (AMRs), and new small modular reactors (SMRs). Our deliverables include:
- Data center colocation requirements.
- A quantitative availability model to ensure required electrical load is met.
- Technology evaluations to measure viability for powering data centers.
- A data center campus site plan considering variables such as site configuration, land requirements, and substation design.
- Feasibility and economic studies.
Technical Due Diligence
Confidential Hyperscaler
We are performing ongoing due diligence activities for new data center campuses colocated adjacent to utility-scale power sources in all independent system operator regions for a confidential hyperscaler. Our scope includes data center availability modeling, generation technology reliability and safety deep dives, back-up power strategy, and high voltage due diligence.
Clean Energy Compatibility
Confidential Hyperscaler
We performed technical due diligence on clean-power-generating technologies to determine their compatibility with data center operations. We evaluated reliability and scale to meet net-zero carbon emission goals.
Load Planning
Confidential Utility Advisory
We provide advisory services to utilities and transmission owners to assist with the increase of data center load requests and planning needs. We’re defining new processes and workflows for intaking requests, coordinating with the governing independent system operators and regional transmission organizations (ISO/RTOs), performing load flow sensitivity studies, and planning for large load adjustments.
Data Center Substation Design
Confidential Utility
We serve as design engineer to supply power to hyperscaler and colocater digital campuses located within a global data center hub.
Data Center Substation Design
Confidential Utility
We serve as design engineer for southeastern U.S. utility substations powering hyperscaler digital campuses.
Data Center Substation Design
Multiple Confidential Clients
We serve as design engineer for dozens of confidential power supply projects in support of data center buildouts. Our work supports projects in territories where PJM, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), Southwest Power Pool (SPP), and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) provide service and delivers power to the largest data center developers in the world in the form of hyperscaler digital campuses.
Development Support
Confidential Data Center Developer
We’re supporting site development for a future data center by providing grid interconnection support, site critical issues analysis, development stage permitting support, and conceptual site layout support.
Development Support
Confidential Data Center Developer
We’re identifying favorable sites where large load data centers can be constructed and operated. We look for areas with the infrastructure and capacity to support load demands, note areas with constrained capacity, and recommend areas where behind-the-meter infrastructure would be most advantageous to new developments.
