Flow Battery Technology Milestones From PNNL And Sumitomo Electric

A seven-year observation of a vanadium flow battery in California from Sumitomo Electric has been completed, while US lab PNNL has found an alternative, food-based electrolyte which it said boosted capacity and longevity.

Results from vanadium redox flow project in California

The first is the results of a seven-year long observation of a 2MW/8MWh vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) system that Japan-based Sumitomo Electric deployed at a site in California, in partnership with utility SDG&E.
