Hybrid flexible energy solution using geothermal and hydrogen for data center applications

A system for providing high availability electrical power to a data center, the system comprising:

• a geothermal extraction well comprising an output, wherein the output emits geothermal energy;
• an underground hydrogen storage;
• a turbine-generator system comprising a turbine and a generator, wherein:
• the turbine-generator system is coupled to the output of the geothermal extraction well,
• the turbine converts the geothermal energy into mechanical energy,
• the generator converts the mechanical energy into electricity, and
• the electricity is served to the data center as primary power of the data center;
• a fuel cell coupled to the underground hydrogen storage via a valve, wherein:
• the fuel cell generates backup electricity using hydrogen from the underground hydrogen storage, and
• the backup electricity is served to the data center as backup power of the data center;
• and
• a control system, comprising:
• a backup controller, comprising:
• one or more backup processors;
• and
• one or more backup memories having stored thereon instructions that, upon execution by the one or more backup processors, cause the one or more backup processors to:
• detect a disruption in the primary power of the data center, in response to detecting the disruption:
• transmit a first signal to the valve, wherein the first signal opens the valve to allow flow of the hydrogen to the fuel cell;
• and
• transmit a second signal to the fuel cell, wherein the second signal initiates operation of the fuel cell.
