The power demand from AI, Electric Vehicles, and the electrification of large scale industrial equipment has left data centers with very little choice but to create their own Microgrids. While Diesel Gensets have been used as back up power for decades, owners and developers need a cleaner alternative in Natural Gas that can power these huge electrical demands that simply are too large for Solar, Wind and Batteries. Data Center developers often talk of Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) in battery storage, but in reality, these battery systems will only run for minutes or an hour, if and when the entire electrical grid fails.<\/p><p>Steel Nation Microgrids are a true UPS, providing a continuous supply of power, not a back up power system. Compared to the obsolete use of Diesel Gensets &amp; Batteries used as a \u201cBackup,\u201d these Natural Gas Reciprocating Engines and Turbines run 100% of the power, 100% of the time, utilizing back up engines for redundancy. Economically, there is no comparison \u2013 Wholesale Natural Gas has always been cheaper than electrical power, and will always remain so, due to its High Power Density

Modern energy efficient Gensets now have lower emissions as compared to coal fired electricity. The new technologies in Combined Heat Power (CHP) recovery has made Natural Gas even more environmentally favorable, and when you factor in the small footprint of the land needed, is now the favorable power source for Developers, REITs and Hyperscalers. Microsoft\u2019s recent announcement of the purchase and start-up of Three Mile Island\u2019s Nuclear Reactor #1, Nuclear Power is now back in the equation, although most are projecting it will take 8 to 10 years to attain permits and constructed for it to be fully functioning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cf7ae8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3cf7ae8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Natural Gas Microgrids are the fastest to Market:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6aed800 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6aed800\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>While Nuclear Power could take 8-10 years and most American Electrical Grids have a 3 year application process to review solar companies to sell back excess electricity to the grids. Steel Nation Microgrids can be up and running 11-12 months after local building permits are attained. Depending on the manufacturer of Reciprocating Engines, we can usually have these delivered in 7 Months. During this time, we would perform all Site Clearing, Pipeline Interconnects, Utility Connections, Foundations, Steel Building Erection, Cooling, Air Handling, Sound Mitigation, Cranes, Electrical, Mechanical and other divisions. After the Gensets arrive, we install into the new Smart Power Building, and will need 3-5 months to perform final hookups, safety analysis, final startups and commissioning. If Steel Nation Microgrids is selected to design and build the Clean Rooms, a similar schedule would take place, allowing 1 year for commissioning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32f8f2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"32f8f2f\"
