Australian Vanadium, a startup looking to establish a vertically integrated vanadium flow battery business, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with developer North Harbour Clean Energy (NHCE). NHCE is focused on developing long-duration energy storage capacity at pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) and vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) sites, having identified strong fundamental market […]
Vanadium Flow Batteries For a Zero-Emissions Energy System
Growth in renewables and corresponding market pricing is the key driver for the commercialisation and global adoption for vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) and an important reason why we will see further growth for this technology over the years to come, says Ed Porter of Invinity Energy Systems. This article first appeared in Volume 26 of […]
Largo Says Vanadium For Energy Storage Worth Twice as Much as For Steel Production at ‘Battery Day’
Using vanadium for battery electrolytes could be twice as profitable as supplying it for steel production, which is currently the major industrial use for the abundant metal, vanadium producer Largo Resources has said. Largo Resources has decided that the market for long-duration energy storage will be a high value opportunity and held a ‘Battery Day’ […]
Abengoa to Build Microgrid with Vanadium Flow Batteries at South African Mine
Bushveld Energy, a vanadium energy storage solutions provider, has selected Abengoa to construct Africa’s first megawatt scale hybrid microgrid with flow batteries for the Vametco mine in South Africa. Abengoa, a Spanish multinational company in the infrastructure, energy and water sectors, will engineer, supply and construct a 3.5 MW solar PV plant and a 1 […]
Realising the transition to green energy, through renewables and the vanadium redox flow battery
Paul Vollant is Director of Sales & Trading at Largo Resources, a producer and supplier of vanadium. As the world intensifies its efforts to adapt to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressing need to accelerate the transition to renewable energy cannot be ignored. Though life as we know it has been greatly […]
Solar-charged vanadium flow machine pre-qualifies for UK’s frequency response market
‘Flow batteries’ could provide frequency response in the UK for the first time ever, as a modestly sized solar-plus-storage system has been pre-qualified into National Grid’s dynamic firm frequency response (dFFR) market. Last week energy storage technology provider and system integrator RedT – which prefers the description ‘flow machines’ for its vanadium redox flow, long […]
