VRF Battery Systems are Increasingly Used in Conjunction With Solar and Wind Power Systems to Provide Electrical Power Around-the-Clock From Renewable Intermittent Power Sources and in Load-Shifting Applications.

About VRFB Technologies

VRFBs are rechargeable batteries that take advantage of the fact that vanadium ions in different oxidation states can efficiently store chemical potential energy.

VRFBs allow for an almost unlimited energy capacity, can be completely charged and discharged without damage, have very long cycle lives (at least 15,000-20,000 charge/discharge cycles), and can remain unused for long periods without permanent effects to the system.

Because of their nearly unlimited energy storage capacity, high efficiency, zero emissions, very long cycle lives, and relatively low cost of available electricity on a lifecycle basis, VRFB energy storage systems are enabling consumers to utilize renewable energy systems for 100% of their actual power needs without having to rely on renewable energy credits and other accounting offsets.

Vanadium flow batteries store their energy in tanks. The electrolyte — the fluid that transfers charges inside a battery — flows from one tank through the system back to the same tank. The tanks can be fish tank size or bigger than an above ground pool. As a result — and you will see this over and over again — it’s much easier to adapt flow batteries to industrial-scale applications without adding a lot of cost. You just make the tank bigger.

VRFB will most likely appreciate with renewables adoption of 2050 net zero pledges.
