A new type of vanadium flow battery stack has been developed by a team of Chinese scientists, which could revolutionize the field of large-scale energy storage. Vanadium flow batteries are a promising technology for storing renewable energy, as they have long lifespans, high safety, and scalability.
“This 70 kW-level stack can promote the commercialization of vanadium flow batteries. We believe that the development of this stack will improve the integration of power units in energy,” said Prof. Li Xianfeng, the leader of the research team.
8 August 2024 – Prof. Zhang Huamin, Chief Researcher at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, announced a significant forecast in the energy storage sector. He predicts that in the next 5 to 10 years, the installed capacity of vanadium flow batteries could exceed that of lithium-ion batteries.
For instance, Wuhan NARI's independently developed vanadium flow battery products have been widely used in various domestic demonstration projects. Experts emphasize that vanadium flow batteries feature separate and independent charging and discharging processes, providing higher safety.
The key component of a vanadium flow battery is the stack, which consists of a series of cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The cost of the stack is largely determined by its power density, which is the ratio of power output to stack volume. The higher the power density, the smaller and cheaper the stack.
Currently, besides the demonstration projects of the two major power grids, the National Energy Group and several provinces including Jilin, Hebei, Sichuan, Jiangsu, and Shenzhen have issued vanadium flow battery tender projects. Vanitec is the only global vanadium organisation.
