Exploring Industrial Substation Chargers & Battery Sizing with PB Design at Distributed Energy Show 2025
While exhibiting at the Distributed Energy Show 2025 as part of Energy Technology Live, I had the pleasure of connecting with Neil Howlett, Dawn M., and Karl Kennedy from PB Design & Development Ltd. Their expertise in industrial substation chargers and battery sizing truly stood out.
Neil’s presentation on battery technologies and sizing considerations was a highlight for me. He provided an in-depth look at the different battery technologies—from lithium-ion to lead-acid—and how proper sizing impacts efficiency, longevity, and reliability in critical power applications. The discussion around design considerations for substation batteries and the challenges in ensuring robust backup power systems was particularly insightful.
Beyond the talk, I was fortunate to tour PB Design’s units, where Neil, Dawn, and Karl took the time to walk me through their flxCHARGE range—an impressive lineup of flexible DC standby systems built for industrial resilience. Their ability to answer my questions in such detail further solidified their reputation as leaders in standby power solutions.
For anyone looking to enhance their substation power infrastructure, I highly recommend checking out PB Design’s solutions. You can learn more about their products and innovations here:
