Latest Patents

Maleky is associated with 1 patent: “Hybrid Flexible Energy Solution Using Geothermal and Hydrogen for Data Center Applications.” The invention describes a system that uses a geothermal well and underground hydrogen storage to support data-center power needs. A turbine-generator converts geothermal energy into primary electricity. If the system detects an interruption in primary power, a fuel cell uses stored hydrogen to generate backup electricity. A battery can provide transitional power while the fuel cell starts. In some implementations, the hydrogen storage uses the exterior cavity of the geothermal well formed during pipe-in-pipe drilling.
