Global renewable energy development company, SunEdison, signed a 10-year agreement with Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) this past December to supply 5 MW (or 20-MWh) of battery storage to the province. The Ontario IESO works at the heart of Ontario’s power system, and is responsible for making sure everyone in the province gets the electricity they need,…
Vanadium flow battery close to ideal for high power storage
Storing power in a cost-effective manner is a sort of Holy Grail for the renewable-energy industry. While most methods have been a bit pricy, that may be changing. Manufacturers of vanadium flow batteries think theirs is a cost trend setter. For example, the big plus for vanadium is that it never wears out, the design…
Imergy Power Systems achieves breakthrough in energy storage: Flow batteries from recycled vanadium
An exclusive process for using low-grade vanadium from oil fields and mines in flow batteries will lower cost and increase performance of energy storage Imergy Power Systems, a pioneer in advanced storage systems, has achieved a fundamental milestone in energy storage by developing an exclusive process for producing high-performance flow batteries with recycled vanadium from…
