Introduction Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology is a leading energy storage option. Although lithium-ion (Li-ion) still leads the industry in deployed capacity, VRFBs offer new
While the initial investment in VRFB technology might be higher than traditional batteries, their long-term operational costs are significantly lower. The key lies in their design –
To validate our model outputs, we compare our base case to other LCOS models of VRFBs in the open literature. Lazard's annual levelized cost of storage analysis is a useful source for costs of various energy storage systems, and, in 2018, reported levelized VRFB costs in the range of 293–467 $ MWh −1 (for mid-scale systems ~10 MWh) .
VRFBs have a higher capital cost than lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) technology but can offer a lower cost of ownership and levelised cost of energy storage over their lifetime. Yet this detail is often missed when procurement decisions are made.
Image: Eva-Lotte Johansen. The first vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) installation in Norway, a 5kW/25kWh system, was unveiled this week. Local firm Bryte Batteries installed the 5kW/25kWh system at the Sluppen commercial district, in Trondheim, owned by property development company R. Kjeldsberg, the customer of the project.
In contrast, VRFBs can be rebalanced to restore lost capacity without additional capital expenditure. Thus, while VRFBs have significantly higher capacity fade rates than state-of-the art Li-ion batteries, the resilience of the VRFB electrolyte may lead to cost savings over the project lifetime.
Advantages include the long lifespan and durability of VRFBs, their low operating costs, non-flammable design and a low environmental impact, both in manufacturing and in operation.
The primary method for recovering the lost capacity in VRFBs is termed rebalancing, where the negative and positive electrolytes are mixed to equilibrate the concentration of vanadium ions in each electrolyte. Rebalancing is generally performed once the accessible capacity drops to a predefined level that is determined by application requirements.
