DC Building Power Japan Call for Papers Issued

Corona, California, September 17, 2009 – An Announcement and Call for Papers has been issued for the First Annual DC Building Power Japan conference (DCBPJ ’09) to be held December 7 & 8 in Tokyo, Japan. This focused two-day international conference will attract an international audience to discuss high-voltage and low-voltage dc distribution in facilities such as data centers, commercial and industrial buildings and residences. A convergence of technologies is occurring that will change how buildings are powered. These technologies include the continued rapid growth of distributed generation resources (photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, fuel cells, micro turbines, etc.); the emergence of high-efficiency lighting technologies (especially solid-state LED lighting); wireless building automation systems; demand-side management of building energy use by electric utilities; and more. According to recent studies, the use of dc power can be ten-times more reliable and significantly more efficient compared with today's ac-power designs.

"Japan is one of the countries leading the development of dc power technologies for buildings. We are excited to be working with Global Information, Inc. to organize this important international event,” stated Jeff Shepard, President of Darnell Group. “The use of dc distribution can complement other trends in building power including the growth of 'green' energy sources, use of wireless building automation systems, demand side management, the implementation of high-efficiency lighting, and more. And it can reduce construction and operating costs, improve flexibility and enhance sustainability. This will be a unique international meeting in Tokyo with English as the official conference language and simultaneous translation services,” Shepard concluded.
