Slide 7: Vanadium vs Lithium
Vanadium vs Lithium Key Comparisons Vanadium Flow Battery Lithium (Li-ion) Energy Battery – Store large amounts of energy for later use Power Battery – ideal for shorter term high power application Energy stored in Electrolyte Tanks All energy stored in cell Stable – non-flammable Flammable (prone t
Slide 8: Working out LCOE
Working out LCOE Levelised cost of energy (LCOE) • TCO – Total cost of ownership is the upfront capex and the sum of the operating costs over the life of the battery • If that life turns out shorter than expected, that means a new capex will need to be added. • So.. TCO depends on Battery Life • Ene
Slide 9: Battery life - factors to compare
Battery life - factors to compare Vanadium flow design and operation mean no degradation in energy capacity over time. Fluid Battery with one chemistry (Vanadium). Flow means no heat and no destruction of cell over time. An engine.. With fluid pumps and pipes , very responsive and very easy to ma
Slide 10: VRB battery life

Slide 11: Battery life
Battery life What do we all expect from a battery ? All 21st Century humans inherently understand batteries and what they do (even from very young) We expect them to perform at their full capacity forever (and are always disappointed when they don’t) Our expectation of residential, commercial and
