No, Data Center Backup Isn’t A Good Fit For Redox Flow Batteries Yet
If you are only burning a few hundred gallons a year for a data center drawing 100 MW 24/7/365, the cost and carbon debt of fuel for your generators is not material.

As the world races to decarbonize, there is growing focus on increasing the penetration of variable renewables such as solar and wind. This means that there will be a critical need for large scale storage systems for various energy storage applications. More importantly, long duration storage will play a key … [continued]
Vanadium Redox Flow batteries are ideal for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar needed to power the U.S. transition to clean energy. Alpharetta, GA / January 19, 2022 – Stryten Energy LLC, a U.S.-based energy storage solutions provider, today announced it purchased the assets of Storion Energy Inc., … [continued]
Researchers at Warwick University in the UK say they have found a way to make a redox flow battery that costs less than $25 per kWh. If that’s so, energy storage and renewable energy have just taken a giant step forward.
Vanadium redox flow batteries in Saudi Arabia. Gravity energy storage in Scotland. The search for low cost, long duration energy storage continues.
If you can’t tell, I’ve been catching up and finally getting some videos published that I filmed a long time back. This one is a vanadium redox flow battery presentation from Tom Tipple, Head of Emerging Markets for Gildemeister Energy Solutions, at January’s World Future Energy Summit, part of Abu Dhabi … [continued]
I recently had the opportunity to chat with the CFO and President of Zinc Air Inc., Craig Wilkins, as well as one of the company’s advisors, Greg Hayes. It was a very interesting discussion and it looks like Zinc Air Inc. has what could be a very promising grid storage technology, and … [continued]
A breakthrough has been made in the field of renewable energy battery storage. Researchers have developed a redox flow battery that reaches a stack power of up to 25 kW. This breakthrough in battery technology is important because it will allow the energy from intermittent sources of power, such as … [continued]
A new flow battery aims to relieve EV fast-charging bottlenecks and free up more critical materials for EV batteries, too.
Non-toxic and scalable water-based flow batteries would be a good solution for storing renewable energy in urban areas — if it weren’t for their very low energy density. Empa researcher David Reber wants to remedy the situation with clever materials design. Two colored liquids bubbling through tubes: Is this what … [continued]
