What is a vanadium flow battery system?

Vanadium flow battery systems are ideally suited to stabilize isolated microgrids, integrating solar and wind power in a safe, reliable, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly manner. VRB Energy grid-scale energy storage systems allow for flexible, long-duration energy storage with proven high performance.

Where are vanadium flow batteries installed?

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

Will a vanadium redox battery be a key enabler to a new energy economy?

Since 2007, VRB Energy has continuously focused its mission (and vision) towards a clean, reliable and low-cost energy future. As such, we identified that the long-duration, high-cycle, and almost 100% recyclable properties of the vanadium redox battery would be a key enabler to this new energy economy.

Can vanadium batteries withstand a cyclone?

They can also withstand climactic extremes, including 280km/h cyclones. According to Appleyard, the company’s vanadium batteries stand out in 3 ways. ‘First, vanadium flow batteries are long-life,’ he says. ‘The chemistry exhibits minimal degradation compared to other battery chemistry. We estimate a high return on investment over a 20-year period.
