Flow batteries sport a number of advantages compared to lithium-ion batteries, including the ability to restart quickly after being idled for long periods of time.
Understanding Today’s Hottest New Energy Storage Technologies – Vanadium Flow Batteries Vanadium flow batteries are gaining attention in the media, various industries, and even the general public for the many benefits over lithium-ion batteries. Those benefits include longer life, very little degradation of performance over time, and a much wider … [continued]
An Interview with Professor Roberts Dr. Ted Roberts is an internationally recognized expert and innovator in the field of electrochemical technology. He completed his BA (1987), MEng (1988), and PhD (1992) at Cambridge University. Prior to moving to Calgary in 2012, he was a professor at the University of Manchester … [continued]
Australia has taken another step toward greater use of battery energy storage thanks to a new 30 kWh StorEn vanadium flow battery that was installed for use in a renewable hydrogen plant at Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
This article was sponsored by StorEnTech. The StorEn Technologies* vanadium flow battery prototype has arrived at Stony Brook University in New York. This battery, featuring StorEn’s proprietary technology will undergo extensive independent validation at the Advanced Energy Research & Technology Center (AERTC) at Stony Brook University. This session follows their internal … [continued]
We hosted a webinar with Carlo Brovero, Founder and CEO of StorEn Technologies, a market leader in vanadium flow battery technologies. See the slides and listen to the full webinar here in our recap.
The most popular CleanTechnica stories of the past week were epic … or not. Check ’em out and decide for yourself:
StorEn battery’s increased power density enables StorEn to reduce the size of the battery stack. With smaller plates able to deliver performance at parity with larger sizes, less material (like membrane material) is required, lowering material costs by as much as 50%.
The energy storage market in the United States was up +46% in the third quarter of 2017. This growth represents a strong opportunity for vanadium flow batteries – which may begin to outpace lithium as early as 2018 – to support energy storage and grid modernization.
