Prospects for industrial vanadium flow batteries
Source abstract
Abstract
Vanadium Flow Batteries (VFBs) are a stationary energy storage technology, that can play a pivotal role in the integration of renewable sources into the electrical grid, thanks to unique advantages like power and energy independent sizing, no risk of explosion or fire and extremely long operating life. The first part of this paper presents the main features and the basic performance parameters of VFB, which determine their electric, hydraulic, thermal, and aging feature. The latter part outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the technology, the services that it can provide to the grid, and a short economic analysis. After presenting the fundaments of the technology, prospects and trends of VFBs deployment are outlined. Most of the considerations highlighted in this paper are inspired to studies performed on an industrial-size VFB operated at the Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion Lab (EESCoLab) at the University of Padua (Italy).
