Vanadium flow batteries are an emerging technology for long-duration energy storage. Energy is stored in water-based electrolyte, making the batteries fireproof. Systems are built to last, with lifetimes upward of 25 years.
Water-based chemistry eliminates fire risk. For stationary applications that require fireproof batteries, vanadium flow is the premier technology.
Cycling results in no wear and tear, making the battery a valuable workhorse. Ramping from full discharge to full charge is done in milliseconds.
Many vanadium flow systems are rated for 25 years of operation. The electrolyte, greater than half the battery value, is infinitely recyclable. The cost of storage (LCOS) for vanadium flow batteries is less expensive than that of lithium, making vanadium flow the optimal solution for customers who plan for the long term.
Variable electricity generation sources require energy storage to match supply with demand. The U.S. battery energy storage market is predicted to reach $4.4B in 2030. Vanadium flow batteries will help meet this demand, especially where fire safety, durability, and longevity are key performance factors.
