Technical FAQs 4

Are there any vanadium flow batteries in the United States?

The United States has some vanadium flow battery installations, albeit at a smaller scale. One is a microgrid pilot project in California that was completed in January 2022.

Is vanadium good for flow batteries?

Vanadium is ideal for flow batteries because it doesn’t degrade unless there’s a leak causing the material to flow from one tank through the membrane to the other side. Even in that case, MIT researchers say the cross-contamination is temporary, and only the oxidation states will be affected.

Are redox flow batteries cheaper than chemistries?

Researchers from MIT have demonstrated a techno-economic framework to compare the levelized cost of storage in redox flow batteries with chemistries cheaper and more abundant than incumbent vanadium.

How much do commercial flow batteries cost?

Existing commercial flow batteries (all-V, Zn-Br and Zn-Fe (CN) 6 batteries; USD$ > 170 (kW h) −1)) are still far beyond the DoE target (USD$ 100 (kW h) −1), requiring alternative systems and further improvements for effective market penetration.
