Rob Groben, Business Development Manager at Stored Energy Systems (SENS), will present at the 6th Annual Northeastern Emergency Power Conference in Portsmouth, NH, May 5-7, 2026. The conference brings together end‑users across hospitals, data centers, schools, municipal facilities, and other mission‑critical environments, offering a focused, high‑value experience for leaders responsible for reliable onsite and emergency power systems.
Rob brings deep expertise in the critical power industry—expertise that spans battery systems, switchgear, protection equipment, and high‑reliability DC power infrastructure essential to mission‑critical facilities.
While conversations about emergency power often focus on generators, the reality is that many vital facility functions depend on stationary DC battery systems that receive far less visibility. In his session, Rob shines light on these often‑overlooked components and the essential role they play in keeping critical operations online.

Session: Beyond the Generator: Battery Systems That Keep Facilities Alive, Wednesday, May 6, 9:15-10:00 AM
Although generators often take center stage in emergency power conversations, many critical facility functions rely on stationary DC battery systems that rarely receive the same level of attention. In this session, Rob Groben examines these often‑overlooked systems and explains their vital role in supporting medium‑ and low‑voltage switchgear, protection relays, controls, and power distribution throughout a facility.
Attendees will gain a practical understanding of where these battery systems are used, how aging infrastructure impacts reliability, and the trade‑offs involved in battery chemistry and replacement decisions. Rob will also take a deeper look at modern battery monitoring technologies and why voltage readings alone are an insufficient indicator of true battery health—a common misconception that can mask declining performance and lead to unexpected failures.
Whether you support a hospital, data center, campus facility, or any mission‑critical environment, this session provides clear, actionable guidance on improving system visibility, reducing operational risk, and extending the lifecycle of essential DC power systems.
