The United States has some vanadium flow battery installations, albeit at a smaller scale. One is a microgrid pilot project in California that was completed in January 2022.
But vanadium comes with its own supply chain issues. As the adoption of long-duration energy storage grows, demand for vanadium will skyrocket. Pure vanadium is rarely naturally occurring, though, and it’s usually mined as a byproduct or is otherwise found in compounds. Current production is segmented in China, Russia, and South Africa.
MIT Department of Chemical Engineering researchers are exploring alternatives to today’s popular vanadium-based flow batteries. That process requires a strong analysis of how much the initial capital cost will be, informing future adjustments for maintenance or replacement.
LCOS as a function of electrolyte cost, comparing a vanadium electrolyte baseline to an asymmetric system with finite-lifetime materials. The green line shows the remediation method of separating or recovering/reusing the decayed species, while the red line shows the LCOS of electrolyte replacement.
