The Dalian Flow Battery Energy Storage Peak-shaving Power Station, in Dalian in northeast China, has just been connected to the grid, and will be operating by mid-October.
A press release by the company states that the vanadium flow battery project has the ability to store and release 700MWh of energy. This system ensures extended energy storage capabilities for various applications. It is designed with scalability in mind, and is poised to support evolving energy demands with unmatched performance.
Vanadium flow batteries provide continuous energy storage for up to 10+ hours, ideal for balancing renewable energy supply and demand. As per the company, they are highly recyclable and adaptable, and can support projects of all sizes, from utility-scale to commercial applications.
The key component of a vanadium flow battery is the stack, which consists of a series of cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The cost of the stack is largely determined by its power density, which is the ratio of power output to stack volume. The higher the power density, the smaller and cheaper the stack.
Technology provider Rongke Power has completed a 175MW/700MWh vanadium redox flow battery project in China, the largest of its type in the world. The Dalian and Hong Kong-headquartered company announced the completion of the project on business networking site LinkedIn yesterday (6 December), providing a video of the finished project.
The Xinhua Ushi ESS vanadium flow battery project - termed the world's largest - is located in Ushi, China.
