Where are vanadium flow batteries installed?

A vanadium flow-battery installation at a power plant. Invinity Energy Systems has installed hundreds of vanadium flow batteries around the world. They include this 5 MW array in Oxford, England, which is operated by a consortium led by EDF Energy and connected to the national energy grid. Credit: Invinity Energy Systems

What is a vanadium redox flow battery?

To address this specific gap, Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) have emerged as a powerful and promising technology tailored for large-scale energy storage , . The defining characteristic of a VRFB is the unique decoupling of its power and energy capacity.

How long does a vanadium flow battery last?

Vanadium flow batteries “have by far the longest lifetimes” of all batteries and are able to perform over 20,000 charge-and-discharge cycles—equivalent to operating for 15–25 years—with minimal performance decline, said Hope Wikoff, an analyst with the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Are there any vanadium flow batteries in the United States?

The United States has some vanadium flow battery installations, albeit at a smaller scale. One is a microgrid pilot project in California that was completed in January 2022.
