Powering Events Without Harming the Environment (and Everyone’s Eardrums)

Imagine the following scenario: It’s August 2021 and people are gathering for what is likely the largest public event they’ve attended since the COVID-19 pandemic began. It’s a wedding reception and the weather is actually cooperating, no absurd summer heat here. A pop-up kitchen is preparing food for the event, lights around the venue flicker on as the sun sets, and speakers crackle on as family and friends begin to make speeches.

Something seems to be missing, though. The event is pleasantly quiet. People are talking, of course, but they can actually hear each other’s voices.

What’s missing is the noisy generator powering the event. In its place is a noise-free POWRBANK, out of sight and providing silent, eco-friendly energy for the whole event.

Eco-Friendly Power

POWRBANK from POWR2 works by taking excess energy from diesel generators and other sources and storing it in high energy density lithium batteries. From there, an energy control module (ECM) efficiently allocates power wherever it is needed.

Here, the question might arise, “If the power is simply being redirected, how is this an eco-friendly solution?” The answer lies in the inefficiency of conventional diesel generators when underloaded (which is the majority of the time). Under most circumstances, the power a generator is able to produce is beyond a worksite or event’s demand. In other words, when a generator is burning fuel, energy is essentially being wasted while at the same time harmful emissions are produced.

POWRBANK enables a nearly zero-waste energy solution by recharging with that excess energy. Events using only generators for power, then, are decidedly not eco-friendly. With POWRBANK, a generator doesn’t need to run the entire time. Instead, the generator could run before the event starts, directing 100% of its energy to a POWRBANK, which would then power everything from stored energy for the duration of the event.

‘What? What Did You Say?’

Event hosts, catering companies, and others will typically try their best to sequester any necessary generators. They’ll make valiant efforts to keep fumes away from the crowd and minimize noise. Unfortunately, it’s usually not possible to conceal or eliminate these issues.

Noise pollution is especially important for events. Whether people are gathered for an outdoor wedding and reception or a charity gala, generator noise will do little to enhance the experience. POWRBANK offers an alternative. Because POWRBANK has such a high capacity, it can provide all the power an event needs without any of the noise of traditional sources. 

The difference between, for example, an outdoor ceremony with and without POWRBANK could be between one where wedding vows are heard along with a light breeze or chirping birds and one where guests struggle to hear, “I do.”
