VRB Energy is a clean technology innovator that has commercialized the largest vanadium flow battery on the market, the VRB-ESS®, certified to UL1973 product safety standards. VRB-ESS® batteries are best suited for solar photovoltaic
How do flow batteries store energy?
Flow batteries, like the one ESS developed, store energy in tanks of liquid electrolytes—chemically active solutions that are pumped through the battery’s electrochemical cell to extract electrons. To increase a flow battery’s storage capacity, you simply increase the size of its storage tank.
What are iron 'flow batteries' ESS building?
The iron “flow batteries” ESS is building are just one of several energy storage technologies that are suddenly in demand, thanks to the push to decarbonize the electricity sector and stabilize the climate.
What is a flow battery?
Flow batteries are a small but growing part of the grid-storage market. By the end of 2019, they were used in only 1% of large-scale battery installations in the United States, according to an August 2021 update by the US Energy Information Administration on trends in the battery storage market.
How do Iron Flow batteries work?
Our iron flow batteries work by circulating liquid electrolytes — made of iron, salt, and water — to charge and discharge electrons, providing up to 12 hours of storage capacity. ESS has developed, tested, validated, and commercialized iron flow technology since 2011.
Who is testing flow battery technology?
The flow battery technology will be tested by Duke Energy at its Emerging Technology and Innovation Center in Mount Holly, N.C. The company has more than a decade of experience testing various battery chemistries and has deployed numerous large-scale energy storage projects across the country.
Why should a flow battery be kept in an external tank?
But with a flow battery, keeping the electrolyte in an external tank means that the energy-storing part is separate from the power-producing part. This decoupling of energy and power enables a utility to add more energy storage without also adding more electrochemical battery cells.
