Creating Power Standards
for the21st Century
EMerge Advantages:Flexible Greater flexibility by a using low voltage plug and play topology whenever possible makes installation and reconfiguring of lighting,
sensors and other IoT equipment in the building space easy without rewiring.
Resilient Use of a primary DC bus in a microgrid configuration eliminates the need to synchronize multiple power sources and storage devices,
which in turn makes the whole system inherently more resilient.
Economical While individual dc devices may carry some premium, installed costs are extremely competitive, and even more so with
increased system feature complexity. Coupled with lower reconfiguration, maintenance costs and operating cost, total cost of ownership is almost always lower than with traditional systems.
Safe One of the best kept secrets of using low voltage dc is just how safe it is. One of the myths about ac is how safe it is. Recent testing shows
just the opposite. DC is more likely to cause a recoil reaction at high voltages and you won’t even feel it at touch-safe levels. The most common cause of death from electrocution is heart fibrillation – an AC related causation. Ever notice that all defibrillators use dc power to restart your heart?
Efficient Eliminating unnecessary power conversion in a system can save considerable electricity. Since most renewable sources and storage is
natively dc and most modern electronic devices and appliances are too, switch back and forth from dc to ac to dc wastes energy.
Reliable In addition to being wasteful, power conversion, synchronization and filtering adds complexity to the power electronics in a tradition
system and its connected devices and appliances. Keeping things simple means making them more reliable too!
Sustainable Put it all together – flexibility, resiliency, economical, safe, efficient and reliable – and you have the core definition of
sustainability.
Why Join the Alliance:Green Leadership Be first to market with products and services that have new and innovative green benefits. Improve and promote the
environmental role of your products and services by having them be a part of this unique hybrid power model.
Build Brand Awareness Enjoy the promotional benefits of being constantly listed and promoted as part of the EMerge Alliance
standards effort. Participate in EMerge sponsored events and tradeshows to build market awareness of your unique products in this technology domain. Have your registered products listed on EMerge’s high traffic web site for qualified application and interoperability in dc and hybrid ac/dc systems.
Influence Standards Directly Engage and influence the standards development process directly to ensure your company’s business
interests are heard and fairly represented. Qualify to initiate new or revision proposals in relevant EMerge standards. Get full and unlimited free use of the standards as part of your qualified membership.
Assure Product Interoperability Be eligible to have your products evaluated and listed as “EMerge Registered.” This unique
qualification allows potential designers and specifiers to know your products are compatible and can be interfaced with other registered products. This clear differentiation keeps product value points stable and defends against indiscriminate substitution of un-listed copycats.
Network with Industry Leaders Network with a broad cross-section of industry, academia, and government thought leaders focused
on the field of ac/dc power systems.
Assure Personal & Professional Growth Stay current on trends, activities, new legislation, new and revised codes and
interpretations that affect the use of dc power. Receive discounts on qualified EMerge sponsored events. Grow personally and professionally while enjoying being a part of this trailblazing and exciting work!
