As renewable generation continues to expand across North America, grid operators and energy users increasingly require flexible, on-site resources that can respond within seconds. The DR aura 412 addresses this need by combining proven continuous-duty engine technology with advanced digital controls optimized for demand response and grid-support applications.
Built on 2G's established engine platform, the DR aura 412 is engineered for rapid power delivery, grid-parallel and island operation, including prime power applications, and participation in organized demand response programs. Digital connectivity enables seamless integration with aggregators and control platforms while enhancing on-site energy security.
As power systems evolve, flexibility is becoming essential to maintaining reliability and system efficiency.
"Demand Response is becoming a strategic element of modern energy systems. Flexible and decentralized power solutions such as our DR aura 412 enable companies to actively support system stabilization while strengthening their own resilience and competitiveness," explains Pablo Hofelich, CEO of 2G Energy AG. "The launch of this product underscores our ambition to be a leading technology partner for safe, efficient, and climate-compatible power solutions."
Engineered for Fast Response, Built on Proven InnovationThe DR aura 412 is the result of several years of focused in-house development, with emphasis on engine dynamics, control systems, and fuel flexibility.
"Over the past years, 2G has emerged as a technological benchmark in decentralized power generation," states Frank Grewe, CTO of 2G Energy AG. "The DR aura 412 clearly demonstrates the innovative strength of our company: it combines dynamic operating strategies with state-of-the-art control systems, is built on our proven engine technology, and is prepared for the use of alternative gases such as hydrogen. This is the outcome of consistent development work and makes the product fit for the future demands of flexible power markets."
Key Capabilities of the DR aura 412Designed specifically for flexible power and demand response applications, the DR aura 412 provides:
