Some vanadium batteries already provide complete energy storage systems for $500 per kilowatt hour, a figure that will fall below $300 per kilowatt hour in less than a year. That is a full five years before the gigafactory hits its stride. By 2020, those energy storage systems will be produced for $150 a kwh. Then there is scaling.
Vanadium redox flow batteries are praised for their large energy storage capacity. Often called a V-flow battery or vanadium redox, these batteries use a special method where energy is stored in liquid electrolyte solutions, allowing for significant storage. Lithium-ion batteries, common in many devices, are compact and long-lasting.
Frequent price fluctuations of certain components or materials within a life cycle are also problematic. Our analysis shows a price increase of vanadium of 50% results in higher risks for a similar supply chain, even though the total share of vanadium in the battery costs is only around 7%.
Vanadium Vanadium flow batteries store their energy in tanks. The electrolyte — the fluid that transfers charges inside a battery — flows from one tank through the system back to the same tank. The tanks can be fish tank size or bigger than an above ground pool.
Results indicate that the vanadium-based storage system results in overall lower impacts when manufactured with 100% fresh raw materials, but the impacts are significantly lowered if 50% recycled electrolyte is used, with up to 45.2% lower acidification and 11.1% lower global warming potential.
