Cellstrom GmbH, based in Vienna, Austria, says this electric vehicle recharging station installed at Perugia, Italy, consists of a solar photovoltaic power generator and a 10 KW DRFB.
Although vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) have the potential to be “the next big thing” that would enable economical storage of wind and solar energy, there are no existing or planned utility-scale installations after more than 25 years of development. One small venture capital-funded private company, Prudent Energy Corporation, is leading development.
