It is time to make profitable your battery energy storage
Sizing
Sizing a Battery Energy Storage (BES) for a smart building application is a trade-off between cost of the BES itself and available stored energy. Our software is able to compute, for each targeted building, the size of BES minimizing the investment cost and maximizing revenues.
Increasing Energy
Self-Consumption
Unfortunately, for the majority of building (residential or industrial) there is a time mismatch between PV production and Load consumption. Our software is able to predict and manage the time window for which it is possible to charge the BES (PV higher than load) and discharge the battery (PV lower than load).
Ageing
The management is done for reducing the ageing of the BES and increasing the revenues. Based on our validation, in real buildings located in Lausanne, the ageing is reduced up to 45% compared to a not ageing aware strategy.
Ancillary Services
Deploying your battery for frequency and/or voltage control? How much will it cost from the utility point of view? And from an end-client? We are able to compute this cost and the associated benefit.
MedTech
Wondering about the lifetime of the battery pack of your medical device? We can evaluate it and give you some tips for extending its lifetime as longer as possible.
Electric Vehicles
(V2G & 2nd Life)
Aurora'Grid is working on the integration of EVs batteries providing ancillary services to the grid (V2G) or to building (V2B). Moreovoer, we started to focus on the development of an EMS for Second-life batteries applications.
Is ageing of batteries really important ?
All these wrong behaviours have to be avoided with residential and industrial battery storage systems.
Letting your smartphone turning off because of a complete discharged battery is reducing its useful lifetime up to 1%.
Keeping your smartphone connected with the charger all night long is reducing the lifetime of the battery up to 40%. It is better to charge it in the morning for one hour.
Charging your smartphone if its temperature is high (35 degres) reduces the useful lifetime of the battery up to 40%. It is better to wait that the smartphone cools down and charge it later on.

About us
Passionate people on our team
Dr. Dimitri Torregrossa is founder and CEO of Aurora’ s Grid since its creation in October 2016. Passionate about renewable energies and electrochemical storage devices he decided in 2016 to make a software for managing battery storage systems. He got a Phd in electrical engineering and a post-doctoral experience of 5 years at EPFL in ageing of Li-ions cells and Ultracapacitors. He has worked/collaborated, last 7 years, with several industrial partners such as Leclanché SA, Arts Energy, Nesscap, Maxwell, Romande Energie, Services Industriels de Lausanne.
Julien holds a Master of Mechanical Engineering with an energy specialization from EPFL. He has worked on a Master thesis on the LCA of the Battery Energy Storage System. He joined Aurora's Grid venture with the main goal to develop and industrialize the energy management software.
Abbass holds a PhD in Information systems from University of Geneva and a Master in Communication systems from EPFL. He joined Aurora's Grid in order to strenghten the team's IT skills and industrialize the software.
Egor is completing his Master in Finance from HEC Lausanne. He's doing his Master thesis in the company with the goal of studying the economic impact of a large Li-ion batteries deployment.
Independent private equity executive, financial advisor and business coach with extensive experience in venture capital, M&A and early stage start-up companies.
