100% agree Rhys AND "we" also need to be
talking this VRFB solution up as much as possible wherever we are too.
It is so frustrating. I have an old mate who was Managing Director of Siemens Energy and now is Projects Director for Fluence (the project subsidiary of Siemens). A couple of years ago i ran into him at my best-mate's-son's-wedding and he mentioned that Siemens were only designing Li-ion power storage solutions for large scale projects at that time and were never even considering VRFB. Well I'm glad to say that Siemens are now involved in VRFB projects (and i doubt that had anything to do with our conversation - but you never know
?). Google it...
"Siemens has tested vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) and is involved in other energy storage technologies.
Explanation
VRFB testing : Siemens Gamesa has tested VRFB technology at its La Plana test site. VRFBs are promising for isolated and grid-connected systems because of their scalable energy capacity."
So tides are turning and AVL just need to be ready for that wave and arguably are at the front of the wave here in Aus but we need that swell of public support and of course FID to push us now.
It's that cycle of ignore-reject-accept-adopt ... fingers remain crossed.
All IMO, make yours based on your own research. ;-)
