Vanadium flow batteries provide continuous energy storage for up to 10+ hours, ideal for balancing renewable energy supply and demand. As per the company, they are highly recyclable and adaptable, and can support projects of all sizes, from utility-scale to commercial applications.
A press release by the company states that the vanadium flow battery project has the ability to store and release 700MWh of energy. This system ensures extended energy storage capabilities for various applications. It is designed with scalability in mind, and is poised to support evolving energy demands with unmatched performance.
The key component of a vanadium flow battery is the stack, which consists of a series of cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The cost of the stack is largely determined by its power density, which is the ratio of power output to stack volume. The higher the power density, the smaller and cheaper the stack.
The energy is stored in the vanadium electrolyte kept in the two separate external reservoirs. The system capacity (kWh) is determined by the volume of electrolyte in the storage tanks and the vanadium concentration in solution. During operation, electrolytes are pumped from the tanks to the cell stacks then back to the tanks.
It is worth noting that no leakages have been observed since commissioned. The system shows stable performance and very little capacity loss over the past 12 years, which proves the stability of the vanadium electrolyte and that the vanadium flow battery can have a very long cycle life.
The Xinhua Ushi ESS vanadium flow battery project - termed the world's largest - is located in Ushi, China.
