Called a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), it''s cheaper, safer and longer-lasting than lithium-ion cells. Here''s why they may be a big part of the future — and why you may never see one. ''We ...
This system combines a heavy-cycling, non-degrading vanadium flow battery with the high-power storage capacity of the lithium-ion battery. The total capacity of this hybrid system is 55 MWh, out of which the Lithium-ion battery supplies 50 MWh, and the Vanadium flow battery provides the remaining 5 MWh.
Vanadium electrolyte: the ''fuel'' for long-duration energy storage
At the end of the battery''s 25+ year lifespan, the vanadium electrolyte can be reused in another battery. It might only need to be rebalanced to recover any minor capacity loss over that time. For example, VRFB manufacturer CellCube reported a ~1% capacity loss for a VRFB that had been operating for 10 years.
