Join TalkSolar as the discussion of vanadium storage cells is discussed. There is only one vanadium mine in the US and now that is being used to create this storage technology. Is vanadium the key to better storage? Listen in by clicking the play button below to hear Bill Radvak, … [continued]
Newfound Energies, specialists in design and installation of wind and solar energy systems for off-grid power—as well as grid utility locations—in Newfoundland and Labrador, has just committed for two 30kW–130kWh CellCube vanadium flow energy storage systems to be integrated into a remote microgrid fuel and logistics center. The deal is still subject … [continued]
Three Washington State utilities with big investments in wind power have just signed on to a new $14.3 million energy storage and smart grid demonstration project. The end payoff will be further proof that wind power and other intermittent forms of energy can be integrated into a utility scale electricity provider while keeping up a steady stream of reliable, durable power.
Vanadium flow batteries offer the kind of low cost, high capacity energy storage solutions that will help transform the wind and the sun into power sources that rival fossil fuel plants for stability and reliability, but as always there are a couple of catches: where to get the silvery transition … [continued]
New York City’s Metropolitan Transit Authority is one of the largest single users of energy in the US, and today the agency is officially launching a next-generation energy storage system that is bound to turn heads. MTA has installed three CellCube vanadium flow batteries on the 25th floor setback of … [continued]
For those of you who know your vanadium, the real question about vanadium flow batteries is: where’s the vanadium going to come from? But for now, let’s start with the company American Vanadium, which has announced that the new commercially available CellCube vanadium-based flow battery is now undergoing tests at … [continued]
