Track D: Empowering Energy Innovations
Session D3: Resilient & Reliable Energy Systems
June 26, 2025 | 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Resilience, Cost Savings, Sustainability- Can you really achieve all 3?
We are going to continue to see more Solar and more Electric Vehicle chargers being installed and increased electric demand. How do energy users manage these installations? How does you deploy this technology quickly and efficiently?
Energy users are looking for the best way to interconnect Distributed Energy Resources and they have found that Direct Current (DC) is the solution.
The industry has developed a Current-Operated System which is an innovative distributed direct current (DC) power management solution where devices automatically adjust their operation based on the actual state of the electrical installation.
Participants will learn about the latest DC Technology and review applications through Case Studies.
