The electrolyte constitutes around 30% to 50% of the total system cost of a VRFB energy storage project, which Guidehouse noted is the highest percentage cost for a key mineral in any type of battery.
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) .
Interest in the advancement of energy storage methods have risen as energy production trends toward renewable energy sources. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) are one of the emerging energy storage techniques being developed with the purpose of effectively storing renewable energy.
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.
A three-tank system can be used, typically with a one-pass flow through configuration at the electrode, in which two supply tanks lead to a single storage tank for the mixed electrolyte, but this system is inefficient for the same reasons as a one-pass flow through model . Ideally, the tank system within a VRFB will be sealed.
The most promising, commonly researched and pursued RFB technology is the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) . One main difference between redox flow batteries and more typical electrochemical batteries is the method of electrolyte storage: flow batteries store the electrolytes in external tanks away from the battery center .
Typical VRFB stacks and the cells within, are fed in parallel which maintains a constant concentration of redox ions in each stack/cell inlet, allowing for a more uniform flow rate and reduced overall pressure drop .
