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.

Technology provider Rongke Power has completed a 175MW/700MWh vanadium redox flow battery project in China, the largest of its type in the world.

Western Australia’s GreenTech Hub, dedicated to supporting emerging green technologies, will explore advanced energy storage systems as its first challenge.

New vanadium redox flow battery technology from Invinity Energy Systems makes it possible for renewables to replace conventional generation on the grid 24/7, the company has claimed.

Construction is underway on a 100MWh thermal energy storage project in Finland, using the same ‘Sand Battery’ technology as a 8MWh system which came online in 2022.

Western Australia has revealed a new long-duration vanadium flow battery pilot in the town of Kununurra exploring the use of the technology in microgrids and off-grid power systems.

Global decarbonisation targets are impossible without increasing the pace of long-duration energy storage (LDES) adoption 50 times over by 2040, according to the LDES Council.

Eos, ESS Tech Inc and Energy Vault, the three big-name non-lithium energy storage firms that listed via SPAC deals, saw weak third quarter results.

International Electric Power is proposing a long-duration energy storage project on the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California utilising Eos Energy Enterprises’s zinc cathode battery technology.

National deployment targets should be set for energy storage technologies, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Coalition for Action has said.
