There are load banks made for generators, just large resistive grids. A facility that I work at has one so that we can exercise the generator at operating load without actually switching over our power. So I would think a good solution for a DC might be to have load banks you could switch in when necessary.

All of the plastic parts on the outside are melted off and the paint is a different color on the side that got the bulk of the hot air coming off the dummy load. I had not realized it could get pretty hot there but it made sense given the energy they were dumping out.
