VFlowTech is a Singapore-based startup that develops vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) systems for long-duration energy storage. | |||
==Technology== | ==Technology== | ||
VFlowTech develops VRFB, which traditionally hasn't been used commercially. The vanadium redox flow battery chemistry has several advantages over conventional lithium-ion and flow batteries, including: | |||
* 100% recyclability | |||
* Long lifespan compared to conventional batteries | |||
* Full depth of discharge | |||
This has been productised into systems of different sizes, with capacities ranging from 250kWh to 1,600kWh, for use in grid, EV charging, solar/wind farm, and industry/utility use cases. | |||
The company has a 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility in India. | |||
