AI data centers are buying aeroderivative turbines, stressing the airline supply chain. Here is what it means for U.S. aviation capacity, costs, and reliability through 2030.

Wait times for mobile gas turbines stretch into the 2030s as hyperscalers race to buy every jet engine they can find.

With AI buildouts outpacing the grid, data centers are rolling in jet-powered turbines to keep their clusters online.

Job Description Summary The Aeroderivative Performance & Operability Engineering team is a critical pillar within the Aeroderivative Engineering organization, operating at the intersection of engineering, commercial, and digital domains. The team covers project execution and model development for aspects related to performance (thermodynamic cycle models) and operability (including emissions, fuel flexibility, and controls). This role is focused on model development for the LM2500G4, encompassi… Apply / 詳細:

Market Overview The aeroderivative sensor market is on a strong growth trajectory, set to climb from $1.5 billion in 2024 to $3.2 billion by 2034, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. These sensors are integral to the performance of aeroderivative turbines, which are jet engine-derived systems repurposed for industrial applications. Deployed across energy, aerospace, and marine sectors, these turbines demand sophisticated sensor solutions for monitoring critical parameters such as…

The Platte River Power Authority cleared a major hurdle this week in its plan to install natural gas-fired aeroderivative turbines at the Rawhide Power Station. On April 21, the Larimer County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a state-mandated land use permit, adding six new conditions to the 32 already imposed on the regional power wholesaler. The decision advances PRPA’s efforts to meet aggressive decarbonization targets for its municipal customers, including Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Loveland, while also spotlighting growing concerns about air quality along Colorado’s Front Range.

GE Vernova has secured an order to supply its aeroderivative gas turbines for Springfield City Utilities' (CU) new power generating station in Missouri, the power equipment maker said on Friday.

Setting aside arguments that it is moving too fast, the Platte River Power Authority decided earlier this month to proceed with the purchase of aeroderivative natural gas turbines to replace coal-fired generating capacity at the Rawhide Power Station. The decision commits the electricity wholesaler to an investment of more than $350 million in a 200-megawatt fossil fuel-driven capacity. That capacity will be in the form of several units with a generation capacity of 30-50 megawatts each, according to a PRPA…
