Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands is testing an unusual kind of battery that could prove to be a better, cheaper way to store wind and solar energy. Developed by US startup ESS, the device is known ...

A new water-based “liquid battery” could make home solar storage safer and cheaper than today’s $10,000 lithium-ion systems. Using flow battery technology, it stores energy in liquids instead of ...

A firm in China has announced the successful completion of world’s largest vanadium flow battery project – a 175 megawatt (MW) / 700 megawatt-hour (MWh) energy storage system. The Xinhua Ushi ESS ...

China has switched on a record‑breaking vanadium flow battery in Xinjiang, pairing it directly with a 1 gigawatt solar farm to soak up desert sunshine and feed it back into the grid after dark. The ...

A flow battery can be thought of as a type of rechargeable fuel cell. The electrolyte fuel, in this case, is kept in large external tanks that can be pumped through a reactor. One of the ...

Perth-headquartered resources and technology company Australian Vanadium Limited’s subsidiary VSUN Energy will partner with Japanese manufacturer Sumitomo Electric Industries in its bid to develop ...

Western Australia’s state-owned regional energy provider Horizon Power has officially launched the trial of a vanadium flow battery in the northern part of the state as it investigates how to ...

BESSt announced that its new redox flow battery technology delivers 20 times the energy density of conventional vanadium flow storage systems. The battery is based on a zinc–polyiodide redox flow ...

Flow-style batteries are already demonstrating the potential to dramatically cut the cost of energy storage used to capture the excess output of grid-scale wind and solar plants for later use. A rapid ...

Under the dual carbon goals of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality, the share of renewable energy is set to continue rising, with new types of energy storage being key to the high ...
