Meanwhile, the Chinese government around seven years ago established a programme of deploying flagship large-scale VRFB projects. One of those has just gone online recently, a 157MW/700MWh grid-forming system in Ushi, Dalian province through technology provider Rongke Power. It is the largest flow battery in the world to date.
In the last few years, other flow battery chemistries to gain traction include iron, iron-chrome and zinc-bromine. Some are even looking at vanadium and either iron or chrome flow batteries Guidehouse forecasts that VFB’s will account for 32,800 MWh by 2031, a market share of ~20% of the stationary storage market.
As an important branch of RFBs, all-vanadium RFBs (VRFBs) have become the most commercialized and technologically mature batteries among current RFBs due to their intrinsic safety, no pollution, high energy efficiency, excellent charge and discharge performance, long cycle life, and excellent capacity-power decoupling .
The contribution of energy storage to vanadium demand is increasing rapidly 1. Overview and examples of recent VFB projects and installations outside of China (1/2) Invinity will supply an 8.4MWh VFB to a solar-plus-storage project in Alberta, Canada. It will be paired with a 21MW solar PV plant.
The implication for vanadium producers is also significant, as based on Vanitec calculations, this VFB market would require between 127,500 and 173,8000 tons of additional annual vanadium production. That is over twice current production. 1. The contribution of energy storage to vanadium demand is increasing rapidly
