VRB Energy
VRB Energy's vanadium redox batteries (VRB) store energy in liquid electrolyte in a patented process based on the reduction and oxidation
of ionic forms of the element vanadium. Based on a 250kW containerized module, VRB-ESS is typically 1MW / 4MWh up to 10MW / 80MWh in size installed at utility, commercial, and industrial sites, in support of solar or wind farms, or in isolated microgrids. Typical con gurations use 4, 6, or 8 hours of storage depending on the amount of energy required. The battery is safe, reliable, and non-toxic. Components can be nearly 100% recycled at end-of-life, dramatically improving lifecycle economics and environmental bene ts.
