Get StartedA 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.
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.
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 Xinhua Ushi ESS vanadium flow battery project - termed the world's largest - is located in Ushi, China.
In the United States, awareness was starting to build about the potential of renewable but intermittent energy sources like wind and solar. The positive and negative sides of a vanadium redox-flow battery are separated by a membrane that selectively allows protons to go through.
During charging, an applied voltage causes vanadium ions to each lose an electron on the positive side. The freed electrons flow through the outside circuit to the negative side, where they are stored. During discharging, the stored electrons are released, flowing back through the outside circuit to the positive side.
