What is a vanadium flow battery?

Vanadium flow batteries are a form of heavy-duty, stationary energy storage, used primarily in high-utilisation applications such as being coupled with industrial scale solar generation for distributed, low-carbon energy projects.

Are vanadium flow batteries safe?

Vanadium flow batteries are safe and reliable because they use the same electrolyte on both sides of the battery. This eliminates the risk of harmful corrosion or degradation over time.

Who makes vanadium redox flow batteries?

Avalon and redT have led the way with the development and commercialisation of vanadium redox flow technology. redT has developed three generations of these flow batteries since 2016, generating sales across multiple applications in the UK, mainland Europe, Australia, Sub Saharan Africa and South East Asia.

How long do vanadium redox batteries last?

Vanadium redox batteries can be discharged over an almost unlimited number of charge and discharge cycles without wearing out. This is an important factor when matching the daily demands of utility-scale solar and wind power generation. VRB® Energy products have a proven life of at least 25 years without degradation in the battery.

Are invinity VfB batteries flammable?

Non-flammable, safe-by-design construction. Invinity designs and manufactures the most proven flow batteries in the world. Vanadium flow is a proven, decades-old storage technology. Invinity changed the game by crafting it into a factory-built product. Our safe, modular VFBs create storage solutions at any scale.

Are invinity flow batteries flammable?

Invinity’s flow batteries store energy in a non-flammable, liquid electrolyte, held in tanks within a self-contained module. Larger, safer and more robust than lithium-ion systems, flow batteries do not degrade with use like conventional batteries and have a 20-25 year lifetime, significantly longer than comparable lithium-ion solutions.
