Aurora Liquid Air Energy Storage
Liquid Air Storage for Megawatt Applications
phelas Aurora is a completely new thermodynamic storage system, that builds on the principles of Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES). We use the strengths of LAES (no harmful materials, reliable components with high technological maturity), and adapt that to energy storage requirements. Our proprietary process design includes a custom integrated internal heat management, custom cooling process and drastic simplification of the liquefaction process. We are currently developing the world’s first prototype of a modular LAES system. This makes the system not only highly flexible and transportable, but also suitable for mass production and thus economically viable.

Aurora pairs seamlessly with wind and solar assets.
Aurora navigates around grid constraints and market saturation, maintaining robust profits for renewable energy while accelerating its adoption.
- Increase your revenue on the wholesale markets. Avoid price renewable energy cannibalisation and maximize your arbitrage revenue on Day-Ahead and Intraday markets.
- Reduce your losses caused by grid congestion. Make use of increasing curtailment and charge up your energy storage. This helps the grid and your projects profitability.
- Add value by providing valuable grid services. Provide all sorts of ancillary service (FCR, aFRR and mFRR) to stabilise the grid and to increase revenue from your storage asset.
- System relevant services for the renewable grid of the future. Provide backup power and black start-capabilities to the grid.
Aurora comes with compelling advantages:
