At present, vanadium redox flow batteries are mainly applied to large-scale energy storage and provide a solution for power smoothing of solar renewable energy. With the proposal of the dual carbon goal, in order to expand its application fields, smart grid, zero-carbon community and other applications have emerged. I would like to ask how vanadium liquid flow battery is applied in the field of new energy vehicles and whether there are any application cases at present.
Vanadium flow battery is applied in large scale energy storage, normally coulpling with wind/solar/hydro powerplant. It cannot be used in vehicle due to large volume and low energy density.
I believe such a battery was installed on King Island near Australia, but it was so unreliable (mainly leaks and similar faults) that it had to be removed. They are too complicated compared with lithium and similar technologies.
Dear all, VFRB applications date to the 70th by USA NASA. One Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have also such a battery. Developpements are touching the performance, efficiency, safety, and recyclability. Following are some interesting documents. My Regards
