Can vanadium batteries change the future of energy storage batteries?
Vanadium battery is a major revolution in energy storage technology. It is expected to break through the bottleneck of new energy industry development and become the main battery material for energy storage systems. So, can vanadium batteries change the pattern of energy storage batteries in the future?
The reason why vanadium batteries can change the pattern of future energy storage batteries
This is because the all-vanadium redox flow battery (referred to as "vanadium battery") energy storage technology has outstanding characteristics such as high energy conversion efficiency, long cycle life, safety and environmental protection, and is an excellent energy storage device for solar and wind power generation processes. It can be used for power grid peak regulation, improve power grid stability, and ensure power grid security. It is worth noting that although lithium-ion batteries currently dominate the energy storage market, vanadium batteries with the best performance have become one of the greenest batteries with the strongest development momentum.
Function of vanadium battery energy storage system
Vanadium batteries do not degrade with cycling like lithium-ion battery options do, and they can move electricity without generating heat, can be connected directly to consumers (grid, wind, photovoltaic, etc.), charge automatically or discharge.
Automatic operation: When the AC side grid fails, the energy storage system is automatically disconnected and connected to the grid, and automatically connected to the grid after the grid fault is eliminated. Grid voltage monitoring can solve many power grid power quality problems, such as voltage fluctuation, remote signaling, telemetry, remote control, and remote adjustment functions, such as battery start-stop, charge-discharge state conversion, power regulation, etc.
Automatic daily maintenance, when the vanadium battery energy storage system runs abnormally, it will alarm and transmit the data to the remote control terminal.
Application of all-vanadium redox flow battery
Vanadium battery is one of the excellent green environmental protection batteries with strong development momentum (it does not produce harmful substances during its manufacture, use and disposal). It has a special battery structure, which can be deeply discharged with high current density, rapidly charged, high specific energy, and low price. Supporting energy storage devices; providing electricity for submarines and ocean-going ships and for peak regulation of power grids, etc.
Advantages of vanadium battery energy storage
The cost of vanadium battery is similar to that of lead-acid battery, and it can also prepare megawatt-level battery pack, which can provide electricity with high power for a long time. Therefore, the all-vanadium redox flow battery has the incomparable cost performance advantage of lithium-ion batteries and nickel-hydrogen batteries in the field of large-scale energy storage. Vanadium batteries have simple production process, economical price and excellent electrical performance. Compared with fuel cells that are complex and expensive to manufacture, they are more competitive in terms of large-scale energy storage and application prospects of electric vehicle power sources.
