Distributed Energy

Show Preview: Distributed Energy Conference (DEC)

POWER’s Distributed Energy Conference (DEC) will have a new look—and a new name—this year. In light of the ongoing pandemic and out of concern for the safety and well-being of attendees, speakers, and sponsors, the event this year will be fully virtual. The 2020 version of DEC is now the Distributed Energy Experience, an online conference October 19–22 that will deliver all the sessions, content, and expert speakers that were planned for the live event, now available via an interactive virtual platform. This year’s event builds upon the first two DEC gatherings, including the 2019 conference in Denver (Figure 1) that brought together power generation executives, power plant operators, business owners, and workers in the distributed energy space.

Mosebach Features Load Banks and Other Equipment

Mosebach Manufacturing has a varied product line across several industries. The company’s alternating-current and direct-current load banks are critical for diesel generator upkeep and maintenance, and help prevent wet stacking when a generator is used infrequently or below its optimal load. Mosebach’s load banks (Figure 2) feature innovative data logging, reporting, automatic voltage detection, automatic phase rotation, and load profile uploading. Multiple load banks with varying power capacities may be linked together and controlled from a personal computer or tablet. Mosebach Manufacturing Co., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
