As the global installed energy capacity of vanadium flow battery systems increases, it becomes increasingly important to have tailored standards offering specific safety advice.
One more advantage of these batteries – the acidity levels are much lower than lead-acid batteries. In its lifespan, one StorEn vanadium flow battery avoids the disposal, processing, and landfill of eight lead-acid batteries or four lithium-ion batteries.
Vanadium flow batteries are gaining attention in the media, various industries, and even the general public for the many benefits over lithium-ion batteries. Those benefits include longer life, very little degradation of performance over time, and a much wider operating temperature range. All of which significantly reduces the cost of ownership.
Vanadium flow batteries offer lower costs per discharge cycle than any other battery system. VFB’s can operate for well over 20,000 discharge cycles, as much as 5 times that of lithium systems. Therefore, the cost of ownership is lower over the life of the battery. Power and energy are decoupled or separated inside a vanadium flow battery.
With vanadium flow batteries, all parts and components have a recyclability factor close to 100%. The electrolyte can be processed and reused; 100% of the vanadium can be extracted and reused for other applications with no impact on primary mining. Also, these batteries contain no toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, and nickel.
The main disadvantage of flow batteries is their more complicated system requirements of pumps, sensors, flow and power management, and secondary containment vessels, thus making them more suitable for large-scale storage applications. current vanadium prices, or from 50 to 100 percent of the aforementioned cost target of $100-200/kWh.
