The second phase of the project is expected to push the full capacity to 200 MW/800 MWh. That will bring the total investment to CNY 3.8 billion, according to the Chinese Energy Storge Alliance.
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.

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.
Cell stacks at a large-scale VRFB demonstration plant in Hubei, China. Image: VRB Energy. The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) industry is poised for significant growth in the coming years, equal to nearly 33GWh a year of deployments by 2030, according to new forecasting.
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.
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.
We include two additional data points obtained from a recent review on VRFB component degradation by Yuan et al. [26, 57, 58], which cites two experimental values for the rate of capacity decay as 1.3% and 0.067% per cycle (not shown in Fig. 2 because cycling data was not provided).
