Get StartedVanadium leasing, whereby a third-party company leases the vanadium, usually in the form of VRFB electrolyte, to a battery vendor or end-user is a proposed solution beginning to gain market traction.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming essential in the shift towards renewable energy, providing solutions for grid stability, energy management, and power quality. However, understanding the costs associated with BESS is critical for anyone considering this technology, whether for a home, business, or utility scale.
As mentioned, lithium-ion batteries are popular but more expensive. Newer technologies like solid-state batteries promise higher performance at potentially lower costs in the future, but they are still in the developmental stage. Government incentives, rebates, and tax credits can significantly reduce BESS costs.
For leasing to be an attractive option as compared to upfront purchase, vanadium prices must be sufficiently high and/or annual fees must be suitably low. At the time of writing, the price of vanadium pentoxide is ca. 16 $ kg −1 , which corresponds to 29 $ kg −1 of vanadium.
The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is arguably the most well-studied and widely deployed RFB system. At the time of writing, there are approximately 330 MW of VRFBs currently installed around the world with many more systems announced or under development, including a 200 MW/800 MWh plant in Dalian, China [15, 16].
Full rebalancing requires charging 1.5 moles of electrons per mole of vanadium for the entire tank volume, while partial rebalancing only requires recharging the ions from the partial volume mixing.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
