AI数据中心采用改装航空发动机自发电加速投运
Start here
受制于长达数年的电网并网排队，部分AI数据中心开始转向采用退役客机改装的天然气轮机进行自发电，以加快项目上线进度。在弗吉尼亚北部，接入100MW电网需要等待约七年时间，而利用此类改装机组自建供电，可在24个月内促成数据中心投运。目前多家企业已推进实施：xAI已在密西西比州安装8台改装轮机为Colossus 2供电；Crusoe也为OpenAI位于得克萨斯州Abilene的园区订购了13台ProEnergy机组。

- TechCrunch AISelectedFacing Long Grid Interconnection Queues, AI Data Centers Turn to Repurposed Jet Engines for On-Site Power
Faced with multi-year grid interconnection queues, some AI data centers are turning to natural gas turbines repurposed from retired passenger jets to generate their own power and accelerate deployment. These modified turbines can bring a data center online within 24 months, compared to an estimated seven-year wait to connect a 100 MW load in Northern Virginia. xAI has already installed eight repurposed turbines in Mississippi to power Colossus 2, while Crusoe has ordered 13 ProEnergy units for OpenAI's Abilene campus in Texas.
