Vanadium flow batteries are expected to accelerate rapidly in the coming years, especially as renewable energy generation reaches 60-70% of the power system's market share. Long-term energy storage systems will become the most cost-effective flexible solution. Renewable Energy Growth and Storage Needs
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.
Called a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), it's cheaper, safer and longer-lasting than lithium-ion cells. Here's why they may be a big part of the future — and why you may never see one. In the 1970s, during an era of energy price shocks, NASA began designing a new type of liquid battery.
Unlike lithium-ion batteries, Vanadium flow batteries store energy in a non-flammable electrolyte solution, which does not degrade with cycling, offering superior economic and safety benefits. Prof. Zhang highlighted that the practical large-scale energy storage technologies include physical and electrochemical storage.
“There really is no finite lifetime for a flow battery in the way there is for lithium-ion,” Rodby said. Sumitomo Electric President Osamu Inoue said his company guarantees its flow batteries will last 20 years — but the vanadium inside can be reused forever in future batteries.
The all-liquid redox flow batteries are still the most matured of the RFB technology with All-Vanadium RFBs being the most researched and commercialized. The expansion of this technology to meet broad energy demands is limited by the high capital cost, small operating temperature range and low energy density.
