Performance optimization and cost reduction of a vanadium flow battery (VFB) system is essential for its commercialization and application in large-scale energy storage. However, developing a VFB stack from lab to industrial scale can take years of experiments due to the influence of complex factors, from key materials to the battery architecture.
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.
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.
MIT Department of Chemical Engineering researchers are exploring alternatives to today’s popular vanadium-based flow batteries. That process requires a strong analysis of how much the initial capital cost will be, informing future adjustments for maintenance or replacement.
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.
Since other batteries have a fixed energy to power (E / P) ratio, the architecture of flow batteries enables energy and power to be decoupled, which can be adjusted with the amount of the electrolytes and the sizes of the total electrode areas, hence the power rating is based on the stack size or number.
