Abstract
Technology is disclosed for providing high availability electrical power to a data center using renewable energy sources. A system includes a geothermal extraction well and an underground hydrogen storage. In some cases, the underground hydrogen storage leverages the exterior cavity of the geothermal extraction well created during a pipe-in-pipe drilling process. The system further includes a turbine-generator system that converts the geothermal energy from the well into primary power for the data center. When a control system detects a disruption in the primary power, a fuel cell is used to generate backup power for the data center by leveraging the hydrogen in the underground storage to generate electricity. In some cases, a battery provides transitional backup power while the fuel cell performs its startup process.
