Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) – technology comparison, use cases and energy management

This project will address knowledge gaps associated with Vanadium for Redox Flow Cells as electric storage devices in comparison with other electricity storage approaches. In particular, we will conduct a detailed, comprehensive survey of energy storage solutions and compare them to Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) from a variety of perspectives (steady state and transient efficiencies, fixed and variable costs, lifetime, scalability, safety, environmental impact, parasitic losses, etc.). In addition, with our industrial partners, we will conduct a pilot-scale deployment of actual VRFB battery system to evaluate their performance under different deployment scenarios performing economic and environmental assessment of VRFB technology.
