Power distribution & Microgrid
For hyperscale data centers, reliability and efficiency define success. Integrated power distribution, microgrids, UPS, and energy storage systems enable continuous, intelligent, and sustainable operation by combining grid supply with on-site generation and renewables.
GT-SUITE helps engineers design and optimize these connected systems, simulating how renewable sources, on-site power generation systems (including engine-based units), hydrogen storage, and advanced battery technologies work together to deliver stable, cost-efficient, and resilient power. With its integrated modeling approach, GT-SUITE empowers hyperscalers to maximize uptime, reduce energy costs, and accelerate their path toward sustainability.
