Vanadium Ion Battery is perfectly applicable for both short-term and long-term ESS by producing high power and high efficiency. An ultralong battery life is achieved by drastically reducing the capacity decay. All batteries experience capacity decay upon repeated charge and discharge cycles because of irreversibility and undesirable side reactions.
Vanadium Ion Battery is safe upon overvoltage, overcharge, forced discharge, external short circuit, high temperature exposure, drop, crash, penetration, and even no thermal runaway. The cost of ESS system can be reduced dramatically when there are no inherent safety issues. The safety cannot be compromised for ESS.
Because vanadium electrolyte doesn't degrade, it is an appropriate commodity for leasing. The customer then has an operating expense rather than a capital expense. This also provides comfort to the customer as at the end of the battery's life the electrolyte belongs to someone else who will then be responsible for retrieving and repurposing it.
