SENS Reveals Innovative Solutions to Combat Generator Failures at POWERGEN 2026

SENS Showcases Groundbreaking Power Solutions at POWERGEN 2026

Stored Energy Systems (SENS), a prominent provider of power solutions tailored for mission-critical infrastructures, is set to unveil its latest integrated engine-starting and DC power systems during the POWERGEN 2026 event. This initiative addresses a critical concern in the energy industry: starting battery failures, which industry experts consistently identify as the leading cause of generator failures.

Focus on Eliminating Generator Failures

In a sector where standby generators serve as lifelines, ensuring their reliable functioning is paramount. Despite technological advancements in generators, battery failures remain a significant issue, leading to numerous engine starting failures.

Olen Scott, Chief Commercial Officer at SENS, emphasizes the need to innovate beyond engine optimization. "When generators fail, it’s due to starting systems failing at critical moments. Historically, the industry has concentrated on enhancing engines, neglecting the DC power systems that initiate them. Our mission is to develop fully integrated systems that prioritize reliability from the very beginning."

A System-Level Approach to Power

Traditional generator starting systems typically comprise independently sourced components, leading to complex installations plagued with potential failure points. These multi-vendor configurations result in greater variability, especially as labor availability declines and project timelines tighten.

SENS revolutionizes this approach with a system-level methodology for its DC power and engine starting solutions. By consolidating engineering, assembly, and testing in one location, SENS presents pre-engineered systems that mitigate the need for maintenance and are designed to excel even under the most challenging conditions. For instance, the SuperTorque® 8R model integrates batteries, chargers, switching, and protective measures into a comprehensive solution, dramatically reducing space requirements by up to 90% compared to conventional systems.

POWERGEN 2026: A Platform for Innovation

At this year's POWERGEN, SENS will not just display the SuperTorque® line but also highlight the PowerCab™2, a fully integrated and factory-assembled DC power system, among other products. Attendees are encouraged to visit Booth #721, where SENS engineers will be on hand to conduct live demonstrations and engage in discussions about how these integrated solutions can transform the landscape of reliable power.
