1. A system comprising:
at least one storage tank configured to store at least one of first compressed air or liquid air; and
a power supply system comprising a turbine, a generator, and a flywheel, the power supply system configured to:
receive second compressed air from the at least one storage tank, wherein the second compressed air comprises either the first compressed air or the liquid air which has been heated into a gaseous state;
spin the turbine and the flywheel using the second compressed air, wherein the spinning of the turbine generates electrical energy at the generator;
provide the electrical energy to a data center for powering electronic devices of the data center; and
provide at least a portion of the second compressed air exhausted by the turbine to the data center for cooling the electronic devices of the data center.
