SENS Advances Mission-Critical DC Architecture with PowerCab™2 Integrated DC Power System

Factory-engineered platform simplifies specification and deployment for DC power storage systems in data centers, utilities, oil & gas, and industrial infrastructure

LONGMONT, CO – March 24, 2026Stored Energy Systems (SENS), a provider of engineered power solutions for mission-critical infrastructure, today announced expanded deployment of its PowerCab™2 integrated DC power system. The PowerCab2 platform revolutionizes DC power architecture, simplifying the specification, engineering, procurement, installation, and operation of mission critical power systems.

In high-reliability environments, DC power is foundational to switchgear, protection systems, controls, and backup operations. Yet today, the industry still relies on piecemeal, field-assembled systems.

While functional, this approach introduces installation variability, inconsistent workmanship, extended commissioning cycles, and long-term reliability risk.

PowerCab™2 replaces that model with an engineered, factory-integrated architecture.

Moving from Field Assembly to Factory Integration

PowerCab™2 is a fully integrated DC power platform designed, assembled, and tested as a single system prior to shipment. The architecture consolidates power conversion, battery storage, AC & DC distribution, and controls and communications into a compact, integrated system, providing up to 8x reduction in floor space versus traditional field-built systems.

Key capabilities include:

    • Configurable DC voltage ranges from 24VDC to 240VDC+
    • NEMA 3R enclosures with operating temperatures from -40°C to 55°C
    • Hardened switch mode power conversion technology optimized for industrial and utility environments
    • A variety of supported battery chemistries including SMC – an industry-leading, 20-year, safe solution
    • Built-in redundancy supporting N+1, N+N, and dual bus architectures

“Critical DC systems have historically been assembled onsite from multiple suppliers,” said Olen Scott, Chief Commercial Officer at SENS. “With PowerCab™2, we shifted the integration work from the field to the factory. That allows us to control design integrity, standardize testing, and reduce long-term operational variability. For mission-critical operations, that difference matters.”

Reducing Risk Across Industries

Specifying and design engineers, equipment suppliers, site operators, and EPCs use the PowerCab™2 for:

    • Switchgear: the entire DC power system in a single, compact, preassembled solution
    • Data centers: a specified solution across global hyperscale and colocation fleets for HV switching controls and MV/LV switchgear, operating under strict uptime and fault-tolerance mandates
    • Utility and T&D systems: dependable control power for protection, switching, and automation
    • Oil & gas facilities: wellhead, control, and switchgear power in rugged and remote installations
    • Industrial manufacturing plants: non-stop DC power where unplanned downtime carries significant operational cost
