Firm Fusion Power for Data Centers
AI data centers need large, constant, low-carbon power. A DC-native, low-neutron fusion generator is designed to match that load profile without a steam cycle.
- Load profile
- Large, constant, 24/7 — a firm-power problem
- Per unit
- 486 MWe net (Mode D; 0.61–0.84 GWe gated ceiling)
- Station
- ≈1.5 GWe (three units; 1.8–2.5 GWe at the gated ceiling)
- Output
- DC-native from direct energy conversion
AI and cloud data centers are becoming gigawatt-scale electricity consumers, and their load is the opposite of intermittent: large, constant, and always on. That is a firm-power problem, and it is exactly the profile the Kronos design targets.
A MetroVolt unit is designed for 486 MWe of net electric output at the Mode-D operating point (the gated hot-ion ceiling of 0.61–0.84 GWe is labeled history), with a three-unit station around 1.5 GWe — enough to anchor a hyperscale campus. Two design properties fit the application unusually well:
- Firm and dispatchable. Output does not depend on weather or time of day, so it can serve base load directly rather than as intermittent supply needing backup.
- DC-native. Because power comes from direct energy conversion rather than a turbine, it is a DC output — a natural match for the DC distribution inside modern data centers, with fewer conversion stages.
Kronos develops these as strategic partnerships rather than speculative offerings, and the figures here are design-point values on a published, gated schedule — not an operating product.
