The New Reality of Hybrid Microgrid Controls for Data Centers
Hybrid microgrids are replacing traditional generator‑plus‑UPS models as data centers face AI-driven volatility and grid constraints. This article explains how modern microgrid controls work, why decentralised systems are more resilient, and how Clarke Energy deploys these solutions in mission‑critical environments.
Why Maintenance Is Becoming a Strategic Priority for Data-Center Power
By Alex Marshall, Clarke Energy Data centers across the United States are entering a period of rapid change. AI demand, tightening grid capacity, and pressure for higher resilience are pushing operators toward large onsite power systems. Gas engines, whether used for...
How Operating Hours Define Gas‑Engine Roles in Modern Data Centers
AI and high‑density compute are pushing data centers toward onsite power plants that operate from <100 hours to 8,600 hours per year. Learn how gas engines support backup, peaking, and baseload/bridging roles—and why operating hours drive engineering, cost, and resilience strategy.
Prime Power vs. Base-Load Operation and Relevance to Data Centers
Prime power and base‑load power are frequently used interchangeably, but they describe different operating conditions for gas engines. Understanding these distinctions is critical for data‑center power design, resilience planning, and long‑duration bridging power.
LHV vs HHV in Data Centers: Why Fuel Definitions Matter for Onsite Power Economics
LHV and HHV are often confused in data‑center energy modelling. Because gas‑engine performance is measured using LHV while fuel is billed using HHV, mixing the two can distort efficiency, fuel forecasts, and long‑term cost planning.
Why Gas Engines Behave Differently Under Partial Load – and Why Data Centers Should Care
Modern data centers rarely operate at full load, making partial‑load engine behavior critical. Gas engines offer high efficiency, fast ramp rates, and strong integration with UPS and BESS systems—helping operators improve resilience, performance, and long‑term economics.
Engineering Data-Center Reliability with Prime-Running Gas Engines
Data-center availability targets from 99.9% to 99.999% require different architectures, not different engines. Prime‑running gas engines enable scalable reliability using modular redundancy, allowing operators to deliver hyperscale‑grade uptime with predictable performance.

Lithium Iron Phosphate BESS – The State of Charge Challenge
As lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries become the dominant chemistry for large-scale battery energy storage systems, accurate state-of-charge (SOC) estimation has emerged as a critical challenge. Due to LFP’s flat voltage profile, traditional SOC methods can struggle to deliver the precision required for reliable dispatch, compliance and revenue optimisation. This insight from Clarke Energy explores why SOC accuracy matters, the limitations of conventional approaches, and how advanced estimation strategies can unlock better performance from LFP-based BESS assets.
