A Vanadium flow battery (VFB) operates
using an electrochemical couple based
on two different reactions of vanadium
ions in acidic aqueous solution.

About Flow Batteries
©2015 Vanadis Power GmbH All rights reserved. 5
Electrochemical reaction at normal pressure and
temperature;
Independently rated energy and power capacity, better
scalability;
No degradation under deep discharge, long cycle life;
Real-time monitoring the state of charge of battery,
active thermal management;
Recyclable electrolyte, long term economics and
ecologies favorable
“The singular advantages of flow batteries…make
them particularly well-suited for relatively large
utility applications.”—— EPRI, USA (2006)
Fire accidents reported on Li-ion, Na-S, advanced Pb-acid, etc.
Capacity degrades over cycling for traditional batteries, but remains stable for VFB (blue)
Intrinsically Safe, Scalable und Sustainable

1970s: early work on flow batteries taken by NASA USA, followed by Electro-Technical Laboratory in Japan
1980s: focus on vanadium flow battery by institutions such as UNSW, Australia; several proof-of-concept systems built-up.
1990s : IP rights constantly transferred to industrial entities.
Future : used widely with further cost reduction and performance optimization
2000s : pilot projects built worldwide
A 40+ Year Learning Curve
