4 FAQs about EK vanadium flow battery in Lyon France

Where are vanadium flow batteries installed?

A vanadium flow-battery installation at a power plant. Invinity Energy Systems has installed hundreds of vanadium flow batteries around the world. They include this 5 MW array in Oxford, England, which is operated by a consortium led by EDF Energy and connected to the national energy grid. Credit: Invinity Energy Systems

Are vanadium redox flow batteries better than lithium-ion batteries?

Vanadium redox flow batteries offer better scalability, safety, and sustainability than lithium-ion batteries, at least on paper. As the world intensifies its focus on renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs), the need for efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy storage solutions has never been more critical.

How long does a vanadium flow battery last?

Vanadium flow batteries “have by far the longest lifetimes” of all batteries and are able to perform over 20,000 charge-and-discharge cycles—equivalent to operating for 15–25 years—with minimal performance decline, said Hope Wikoff, an analyst with the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

How safe is a vanadium electrolyte?

The safe and stable chemistry of the vanadium electrolyte has a far lower risk profile than other battery storage technologies. Invinity's batteries deliver 20,000+ deep discharge cycles over their lifespan, without the degradation and need for augmentation found in lithium batteries.
