Vanadium flow batteries are one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies due to their long cycle life, high recyclability, and safety credentials. However, they have lower energy density compared to ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries, and their uptake is held back by high upfront cost.
This article proposes to study the energy storage through Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries as a storage system that can supply firm capacity and be remunerated by means of a Capacity Remuneration Mechanism. We discuss a real option model to evaluate the value of investment in such technology.
Vanadium makes up a significantly higher percentage of the overall system cost compared with any single metal in other battery technologies and in addition to large fluctuations in price historically, its supply chain is less developed and can be more constrained than that of materials used in other battery technologies.
Traditionally, much of the global vanadium supply has been used to strengthen metal alloys such as steel. Because this vanadium application is still the leading driver for its production, it's possible that flow battery suppliers will also have to compete with metal alloy production to secure vanadium supply.
The all-vanadium battery is the most widely commercialised RFB used for large-scale energy storage. It has a low environmental impact with regard to the environmental polluting potential of vanadium 12, especially when compared to traditional lead-acid batteries 13.
The commercial development and current economic incentives associated with energy storage using redox flow batteries (RFBs) are summarised. The analysis is focused on the all-vanadium system, which is the most studied and widely commercialised RFB.
