Invinity Energy Systems believes partnering with a Chinese materials and manufacturing company will enable significant cost reduction of its vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology.
We hear from XL Batteries and Quino Energy, ‘organic’ chemistry flow battery technology companies, about how they plan to scale up and reduce costs to compete with lithium-ion.
The development of global standards and specifications for the electrolyte used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) is “crucial” for the technology’s prospects.
Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed the EZBattery Model, a simulation tool for predicting the performance of redox flow batteries.
Vanadium flow batteries could be a workable alternative to lithium-ion for a growing number of grid-scale energy storage use cases, say Matt Harper and Joe Worthington from Invinity Energy Systems.
India’s Reliance Industries has completed the takeover of sodium-ion battery company Faradion, while Amazon is set to trial a novel flow battery technology.
Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) manufacturer VRB Energy intends to build two factories in China through a joint venture (JV) and one in the US through a new subsidiary.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is funding trial deployments of two different non-lithium battery technologies at microgrids in Western Australia.
