The vanadium flow battery (VFB) as one kind of energy storage technique that has enormous impact on the stabilization and smooth output of renewable energy. Key materials like membranes, electrode, and electrolytes will finally determine the performance of VFBs.
However, as the grid becomes increasingly dominated by renewables, more and more flow batteries will be needed to provide long-duration storage. Demand for vanadium will grow, and that will be a problem. “Vanadium is found around the world but in dilute amounts, and extracting it is difficult,” says Rodby.
Vanadium prices and corresponding electrolyte prices from 1980 through 2021. The left-hand Y axis measures the market price of vanadium pentoxide, a common source of vanadium sold on the global market. The right-hand Y axis translates those prices into prices for vanadium-based electrolytes for flow batteries.
Flow battery developers must balance meeting current market needs while trying to develop longer duration systems because most of their income will come from the shorter discharge durations. Currently, adding additional energy capacity just adds to the cost of the system.
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 .
Valuation of Long-Duration Storage: Flow batteries are ideally suited for longer duration (8+ hours) applications; however, existing wholesale electricity market rules assign minimal incremental value to longer durations.
