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).
Vanadium flow batteries are the new focus in the new energy sector. Although they are currently too bulky for electric vehicles, China has announced several vanadium power generation and storage projects. Lithium batteries are the current focus of the electric vehicle industry, but sodium batteries also show promise.
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.
Vanadium batteries are currently in their initial breakout stage of commercialization in China, primarily for power generation and storage for the electric grid. However, as the technology develops, vanadium may eventually replace lithium as China's electric vehicle battery of choice.
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.
A vanadium battery energy storage power station has a lifetime of about 20 years and can be charged and discharged up to 15,000 times. With a water-based electrolyte system, moreover, the vanadium battery is immune to catching fire and exploding.
