This demonstrates the advantage that the flow batteries employing vanadium chemistry have a very long cycle life. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis was conducted on two of the battery stacks. Some degradation was observed in one of the stacks reflected by the increased charge transfer resistance.
The energy is stored in the vanadium electrolyte kept in the two separate external reservoirs. The system capacity (kWh) is determined by the volume of electrolyte in the storage tanks and the vanadium concentration in solution. During operation, electrolytes are pumped from the tanks to the cell stacks then back to the tanks.
It is worth noting that no leakages have been observed since commissioned. The system shows stable performance and very little capacity loss over the past 12 years, which proves the stability of the vanadium electrolyte and that the vanadium flow battery can have a very long cycle life.
