Germany’s Prolux Solutions recalls vanadium redox home battery systems
Prolux Solutions is recalling all Storac home energy storage systems in Germany and exiting vanadium redox flow technology to switch future residential products to lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Australia registers first eight-hour duration grid battery
Australia has commissioned its first eight-hour-duration battery energy storage system, marking a key milestone in the nation’s transition to renewable energy.
Novel redox flow battery paves way for low-cost storage
US researchers have facilitated the decoupling of power from energy design by incorporating a conducting carbon slurry in the negative electrolyte of an all-iron flow battery. In a new study, they describe the design considerations for slurry iron redox flow battery scalability.
New US license to bring vanadium redox flow batteries to market
The US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has made a third semi-exclusive commercial license for vanadium redox flow battery technologies, in order to help bring the technology to market.
‘The chance to reset with a green recovery has now been lost’
Norwegian consultancy DNV today published the latest of its annual surveys of the state of the energy transition and lamented the fact so very little has been achieved during the last five years. We are forging ahead into a world that will be 2.3C hotter this century, predicts the report.
Australian government praises vanadium project
The Australian government has recognized TNG’s flagship Mount Peake Project – a mine that includes production plans for vanadium redox flow batteries and green hydrogen – as nationally significant.
Vanadium redox flow battery integrating CIGS modules
Spanish and Finnish scientists have developed a solar vanadium redox flow battery paired with commercially available CIGS solar panels. The open-circuit voltage values were high enough to achieve unbiased photocharge, they said.
Vanadium redox flow battery goes online in Spain
Spanish storage specialist E22 said its new system can be integrated within a modular block from 250 kW to 330 kW. It purportedly has a product life above 12,000 cycles at full power.
Vanadium redox flow battery for utility-scale applications, microgrids
A unit of Largo Resources is launching a new vanadium redox flow battery for utility-scale storage projects, microgrids, renewable energy integration, grid smoothing, and backup power. The battery will feature a modular architecture, based on 1 MW “building blocks” and 2 MWh blocks of storage capacity.
Australian PV plant tests 2 MW/8 MWh vanadium flow battery
Australia’s first utility-scale vanadium flow battery will be built in South Australia. It will demonstrate the tech’s potential to provide energy and frequency control ancillary services for the national grid.
