As the world’s leading vanadium flow battery company, Invinity is one of the most experienced in manufacturing and operating fast response vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) for ancillary services. What ancillary services can flow batteries qualify for?
Within energy storage technologies, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are being widely investigated because of their advantages over other types of storage systems. This type of battery belongs to the family of redox flow batteries.
Perhaps one of the lesser-known characteristics of Vanadium Flow Batteries (VFBs) is their fast response times. This is a complex area where there is often confusion within the industry, leading to this highly capable energy storage technology occasionally being undervalued for applications requiring fast response.
As a technology capable of performing the high number of cycles required by these new ancillary services, vanadium flow batteries are uniquely well positioned to optimise revenues for asset owners as markets inevitably change.
One disadvantage of vanadium redox-flow batteries is the low volumetric energy storage capacity, limited by the solubilities of the active species in the electrolyte. The cost of vanadium may be acceptable, because it is a relatively abundant material, which exists naturally in ~65 different minerals and fossil fuel deposits.
The reactions proceed in the opposite direction during charge process. The active species are normally dissolved in a strong acid, and the protons transport across the ion-exchange membrane to balance the charge. The standard voltage produced by the vanadium redox-flow battery system is 1.25 V. [1-3]
