Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) energy storage systems have the advantages of flexible location, ensured safety, long durability, independent power and capacity configuration, etc., which make them the promising contestants for power systems applications.
Unlike other RFBs, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRBs) use only one element (vanadium) in both tanks, exploiting vanadium’s ability to exist in several states. By using one element in both tanks, VRBs can overcome cross-contamination degradation, a significant issue with other RFB chemistries that use more than one element.
Vanadium makes up a significantly higher percentage of the overall system cost compared with any single metal in other battery technologies and in addition to large fluctuations in price historically, its supply chain is less developed and can be more constrained than that of materials used in other battery technologies.
Traditionally, much of the global vanadium supply has been used to strengthen metal alloys such as steel. Because this vanadium application is still the leading driver for its production, it’s possible that flow battery suppliers will also have to compete with metal alloy production to secure vanadium supply.
AVL, with government support, has created the Australian Vanadium Project, which produces and processes VRFB materials in Western Australia that will then be supplied to VRFB manufacturers as either V2O5 or vanadium electrolyte. To ramp up production, VRFB industry leaders have invested in gigafactories.
In the past, vanadium has faced fluctuating price volatility. If this continues, it could delay future growth for VRFBs As mentioned earlier, one barrier for flow batteries has been the limited number of deployments historically relative to Li-ion technologies.
