Vanadium flow batteries are expected to accelerate rapidly in the coming years, especially as renewable energy generation reaches 60-70% of the power system's market share. Long-term energy storage systems will become the most cost-effective flexible solution. Renewable Energy Growth and Storage Needs
As a result, vanadium batteries currently have a higher upfront cost than lithium-ion batteries with the same capacity. Since they're big, heavy and expensive to buy, the use of vanadium batteries may be limited to industrial and grid applications.
8 August 2024 – Prof. Zhang Huamin, Chief Researcher at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, announced a significant forecast in the energy storage sector. He predicts that in the next 5 to 10 years, the installed capacity of vanadium flow batteries could exceed that of lithium-ion batteries.
Called a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), it's cheaper, safer and longer-lasting than lithium-ion cells. Here's why they may be a big part of the future — and why you may never see one. In the 1970s, during an era of energy price shocks, NASA began designing a new type of liquid battery.
Unlike lithium-ion batteries, Vanadium flow batteries store energy in a non-flammable electrolyte solution, which does not degrade with cycling, offering superior economic and safety benefits. Prof. Zhang highlighted that the practical large-scale energy storage technologies include physical and electrochemical storage.
Vanadium producers have recently benefited from an increase in infrastructure spending. However, the demand for vanadium also continues to increase with other applications, including in the aerospace industry and the production of vanadium redox batteries. Various supply-demand forecasts have vanadium in a supply deficit starting around 2025.
