Technical FAQs 4

What is a vanadium redox flow battery?

To address this specific gap, Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) have emerged as a powerful and promising technology tailored for large-scale energy storage , . The defining characteristic of a VRFB is the unique decoupling of its power and energy capacity.

Are vanadium flow batteries safe?

The report highlights that thermal runaway remains a critical risk and that 72% of system-level defects involve fire safety components. In contrast, vanadium flow batteries, which are non-flammable and thermally stable by design, offer a safer and more predictable option for stationary energy storage applications.

Are vanadium batteries better than lithium batteries?

Despite the growth, vanadium batteries still represent a much smaller proportion of energy storage compared to lithium batteries, which accounted for 89.6% of the total installed capacity in 2021 according to research by the China Energy Storage Alliance.

How can vanadium battery capacity be expanded?

The capacity of a vanadium battery can be increased by adding more vanadium electrolytes. This makes it safer for large-scale installation. Given these advantages, the Chinese government sees the vanadium battery as an alternative to other, more hazardous storage batteries.
