China und Deutschland durchbrechen die All-Vanadium-Flow-Energiespeichertechnologie

August 30, 2024 – The flow battery energy storage market in China is experiencing significant growth, with a surge in 100MWh-scale projects and frequent tenders for GWh-scale flow

What is happening with vanadium batteries in China?

Important developments related to the commercialization of vanadium batteries occurred in China in September. Construction commenced on China’s first gigawatt-hour (GWh) vanadium flow power station in Qapqal Xibe, Xinjiang, with a total installed capacity of a million kilowatts (kW).

Which countries have issued vanadium flow battery tender projects?

Currently, besides the demonstration projects of the two major power grids, the National Energy Group and several provinces including Jilin, Hebei, Sichuan, Jiangsu, and Shenzhen have issued vanadium flow battery tender projects. Vanitec is the only global vanadium organisation.

How many MW will China's New flow battery project produce?

A second phase will bring it up to 200MW/800MWh. It was the first project to be approved under a national programme to build large-scale flow battery demonstrations around China back in 2016 as the country’s government launched an energy storage policy strategy.

What is China's first gigawatt-hour (GWh) vanadium flow power station?

China's first gigawatt-hour (GWh) vanadium flow power station is located in Qapqal Xibe, Xinjiang. The project, with a total installed capacity of a million kilowatts (kW), began construction on September 20, 2021. It is expected to be fully connected to the grid before the end of 2023.

Who makes vanadium redox flow batteries?

Industry trade reports currently list Dalian Rongke Power Co. Ltd. as the top manufacturer of vanadium redox flow batteries worldwide. Skievaski also worries about whether China will stop making the batteries once an American company is granted the right to start making them. That may be unlikely.

Are vanadium flow batteries the future of energy storage?

Vanadium flow batteries are expected to accelerate rapidly in the coming years, especially as renewable energy generation reaches 60-70% of the power system's market share. Long-term energy storage systems will become the most cost-effective flexible solution. Renewable Energy Growth and Storage Needs
