With the cost-effective, long-duration energy storage provided by Stryten’s vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), excess power generated from renewable energy sources can be stored until needed—providing constantly reliable electricity throughout the day and night. Without storage, renewable electricity must be used the moment it is generated.
The VRFB is uniquely suited for applications that require medium- to long-duration energy storage from 4 to 12 hours. Examples include microgrids, utility-scale storage, data centers and military bases.
Also, renewable energy generation provides an opportunity for individual isolated or remote users who can operate with (or independently from) a central power grid. Local renewable power sources can be integrated with our long-duration flow batteries to effectively manage the needs of a single building, a neighborhood, an office park or a village.
Microgrids can provide a partial solution to the local power needs, or produce enough energy to satisfy demand and also return power to the regular grid.
