Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) have emerged as a promising long-duration energy storage solution, offering exceptional recyclability and serving as an environmentally friendly battery alternative in the clean energy transition. VRFBs stand out in the energy storage sector due to their unique design and use of vanadium electrolyte.
In the 1980s, the University of New South Wales in Australia started to develop vanadium flow batteries (VFBs). Soon after, Zn-based RFBs were widely reported to be in use due to the high adaptability of Zn-metal anodes to aqueous systems, with Zn/Br2 systems being among the first to be reported.
However, as the grid becomes increasingly dominated by renewables, more and more flow batteries will be needed to provide long-duration storage. Demand for vanadium will grow, and that will be a problem. “Vanadium is found around the world but in dilute amounts, and extracting it is difficult,” says Rodby.
That arrangement addresses the two major challenges with flow batteries. First, vanadium doesn’t degrade. “If you put 100 grams of vanadium into your battery and you come back in 100 years, you should be able to recover 100 grams of that vanadium—as long as the battery doesn’t have some sort of a physical leak,” says Brushett.
Valuation of Long-Duration Storage: Flow batteries are ideally suited for longer duration (8+ hours) applications; however, existing wholesale electricity market rules assign minimal incremental value to longer durations.
