Aura Introduces 10 kW Renewable Energy Sources for Cogeneration Heat & Power ("CHP") and Micro Hydroelectric Applications

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Aura Systems, Inc. AUSI announced today the introduction of its 10 kW 220 VAC 3-phase solution. This is the first of a new series of 10 kW machines to be introduced over the next several months. The other 10 kW configurations will include a 10 kW solution with a 480VAC 3-phase system with built in IEEE-1547 grid interface.

Three-phase power can be more efficient than single-phase power in certain applications. For example, 3-phase motors, are typically much more powerful than their single-phase counterparts, and three-phase machines are generally lower cost because they are less complex, do not require starting capacitors and run at lower currents.

Dr. Arthur Schwartz, Aura's CTO said, “The introduction of 3 phase AuraGen/VIPER solution will enhance our product line in areas where the AuraGen/VIPER power is needed to support electric motors, compressors, pumps and similar items. In addition, a configuration with built in grid interface will provide the Company with new markets where the AuraGen power solution can be used to turn waste energy into useful power encountered in alternative power solutions such as Combined Heat & Power (“CHP”) applications. The unique properties of the AuraGen make it an ideal technical match for these applications where waste heat or water flow variations will not affect the quality of the power put back into the grid.”

Mr. Melvin Gagerman, Aura's CEO said, “We have recently seen significant increase in interest for our AuraGen solution for micro-hydroelectric applications as well as CHP applications both with requirements for grid interface. We are currently exploring these applications with a number of companies. This new configuration of our AuraGen power solution will provide us with the ability to increase our markets in areas that require the ability to support heavy electric loads and for those markets that are designed for alternative power solution integration with the grid for net metering.”
