This study introduces a cost-effective Mn-V/V redox flow battery by partially replacing vanadium ions with abundant manganese ions.
In addition, the vanadium electrolyte after regeneration preserves its operative value because it is not affected by cross-contamination and aging effects. However, no market quotations are available at present for vanadium reselling, so that in a prudential analysis it was assumed EOL cost equal to zero, consistently with most literature [13, 23].
However, no market quotations are available at present for vanadium reselling, so that in a prudential analysis it was assumed EOL cost equal to zero, consistently with most literature [13, 23]. A more favorable hypothesis is made in the perspective analysis. 4. Results 4.1. LCOS and NPV with prudential assumptions
The US Department of Energy (DOE) fixed a capital cost target for ES of 100–150 $ kWh −1 (94–140 € kWh −1) and a Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) of 0.05 € kWh −1 cycles −1 . The latter is a more complete, though somewhat neglected, economic indicator as it is detailed further on.
