2003 – 2012
679 Severe Weather Events
Average Outage = $18 billion to $33 billion
Weather-Related Power Outages Cost Big Money

Diesel Generators Support Local Communities
160 Diesel Generators Owned by DC Government
• Schools• Fire & police departments• Shelters• Universities• Utilities• Storm & wastewater facilities• Correctional facilities• Government buildings• Libraries• Courts
Standard Building Codes require the use of emergency backup power.

Discussion Topic #1: Why Is Diesel the Preferred Choice?
Quick start-up time/load handling ability10 seconds or less to start-up and load handling. Other fuel sources may take up to two minutes, which may be too long in many emergency situations and out of compliance with state and federal laws.
Power density, fuel efficiency and reliability
Disaster utilityDiesel generators have their own storagefor clean diesel fuel, which is readily available and replenishable.
Portability
10No Other Liquid or Gaseous Fuel is as Energy Dense as Diesel

Discussion Topic #2: How is this Equipment Used and
What are the Requirements?
https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=35652#
145 million utility customers experience 1 outage a year with the average outage lasting 112 minutes.
Most outages last less than 5 minutes in duration.
The chart that appears here excludes outages less than 5 minutes in duration.

Topic #3: Are There Limitations on Aftertreatment in Emergency
Gensets?
• Achieving emissions reduction• Warm up time
• Load factor on unit
• Additional considerations• Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF)
• Contingency planning

• Unique attributes of diesel technology make stationary and portable diesel emergency generators a ideal choice
• Federal rules and local permitting requirements cover the use of this equipment
• Real world use of this equipment in the field may place limitations on the suitability of aftertreatment technologies
• State of the art solution rests on Tier 2 solutions
