Flow Batteries Keep The Energy Flowing

Flow, or vanadium, batteries have shown promising potential for grid-level energy storage.  

Some extracts from the above article:

"The U.S. Department of Energy has just taken a big step toward America having an emissions-free economy by 2050 by setting aside $20 million for flow battery manufacturability."

The U.S. Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, recently tweeted:

"The government’s decision to set aside money for flow battery manufacturability, along with the positive comments from Secretary Granholm, indicates a dedication within the U.S. government to longer lasting, more environmentally friendly batteries like vanadium flow batteries. "

"StorEn Tech recently saw its 30kWh vanadium flow battery delivered to Multicom Resources Limited, at the National Battery Testing Centre (NBTC), a flagship project of the Future Battery Industries CRC, a federal organization dedicated to creating an energy storage manufacturing industry in Australia.

The installation was funded under the Australian Renewable Energy Agency’s H2Xport Project. Peter Talbot, a professor at QUT, said about the new battery — “vanadium flow battery technology promises safe, affordable and long-lasting energy storage for both households and industry.”

The battery allows Australian researchers to better understand vanadium flow batteries’ capabilities and to create safety standards for their future use in the country."
