The Australian Vanadium Flow Battery (VFB) represents a significant milestone in the evolution of sustainable energy management. It is an ideal choice for various renewable energy applications, seamlessly integrating with solar PV, wind power, biogas generators, and operating in parallel to ensure an uninterrupted power supply.
​
One of the standout features of the VFB is its resilience to weather conditions, temperature variations, day length fluctuations, and grid instability. Our range of VFBs is designed to meet diverse power and storage needs, and we provide clear references for their capabilities.
AVFB APPLICATIONS
Utility Grid Scale
AVFB (Advanced Vanadium Flow Battery) batteries offer versatile and highly efficient solutions for various energy management applications. They excel in frequency regulation, providing vital support for voltage stability, and enabling the effective stockpiling of surplus energy. Moreover, AVFB batteries are instrumental in the wholesale marketing of energy, ensuring seamless and reliable energy distribution. With their exceptional performance and adaptability, AVFB batteries are at the forefront of modern energy systems, delivering robust solutions for a wide range of grid-connected and off-grid applications.
Commercial and Industrial
AVFB batteries, short for Australian Vanadium Flow Batteries (AVFBs), offer significant energy reserves, making them an ideal choice for addressing power outages and fulfilling peak energy demands. These versatile batteries find applications in various scenarios where reliable, robust energy storage is essential, ensuring continuous power supply and flexibility in managing energy needs.
Electric Vehicles
Australian Vanadium Flow Batteries (AVFBs) have proven their effectiveness in establishing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in numerous countries worldwide. The installation's structure can serve a dual purpose by offering shade to parked vehicles while accommodating solar panels used for recharging the battery. Unlike many EV charging stations that rely on the grid for power, AVFBs facilitate EV charging through renewable energy sources, making it an eco-friendly option. AVFBs can extend their EV charging capabilities to even the most isolated locations.
Telecommunications
The telecommunications sector imposes rigorous requirements on the dependability and safety of its electrical power provision. This necessity arises from the need for continuous, sustainable services, including mobile communications, offered by these companies.
​
This vital need for uninterrupted power is met by the AVFB system, which seamlessly integrates solar and/or diesel power sources with its storage system. This integration ensures a dependable and sustainable power supply to meet the telecommunications industry's demands.
Battery/Emergency Backup
AVFB's storage solutions introduce innovative possibilities for reliable and economical electricity provision. Whether integrated with solar PV (photovoltaic) setups, wind turbines, diesel, natural gas, or biogas generators, or functioning in parallel with the public grid, AVFBs offer the perfect backup solution for maintaining an uninterrupted power source. AVFBs are exceptionally well-suited to serve as the core element of a microgrid.
The AVFB guarantees the availability of energy from PV and wind systems, even during periods of darkness or low wind conditions. It can be rapidly recharged and is instantly operational when needed.
Off-Grid Solutions
The production of electricity on-site using decentralized systems such as diesel generators or renewable sources like solar PV, when combined with a versatile and scalable AVFB energy storage system, presents a practical option for addressing your company's energy requirements.
AVFBs guarantee continuous power and substantial cost reductions. In Australia, AVFB provides extensive assistance in tailoring the perfect microgrid solution for your specific needs, whether it's a semi-autonomous or fully autonomous system. For situations where power supply is unreliable or excessively costly, AVFB's off-grid solutions offer an excellent alternative.
Solar
Our energy solutions, whether integrated through a solar partner or directly with the customer, seamlessly align with solar park projects, encompassing the entire spectrum from project inception, through system deployment, to operational maintenance. This encompasses a meticulous evaluation of customer requirements, a comprehensive installation strategy, precise measurements of solar PV tracking systems assisted by GPS technology, and the mitigation of any power loss that may arise from shading.
The installation and activation of photovoltaic systems are executed in collaboration with certified partner firms, all structured in strict adherence to a predefined project blueprint.
Wind
AVFB batteries designed for wind applications offer a robust energy storage solution perfectly suited to harness the intermittent and variable energy output of wind turbines. These advanced vanadium flow batteries provide reliable, long-lasting performance, enabling efficient capture and utilization of wind-generated energy. Their ability to store and release energy as needed ensures a stable power supply, regardless of wind fluctuations, ultimately contributing to a more dependable and sustainable wind energy system.
Residential
The features of AVFB encompass non-flammability, an extended lifespan with minimal deterioration over a period exceeding 20 years, and the capability to store energy for more than 4 hours. This provides homeowners with an energy storage solution that empowers them to harness daytime-generated energy during nighttime hours.
Our product lineup includes AVFB options tailored for both grid-connected and off-grid households. Feel free to reach out for additional details.
For residential AVFBs connected to the grid, we offer the market's most efficient solution, all-inclusive with PV and inverter installation, for a price below $10,000.
Mining
AVFB batteries, specifically engineered for mining applications, offer a robust and reliable energy storage solution designed to meet the demanding needs of the mining industry. These batteries provide a non-flammable, long-lasting power source that remains effective for over two decades, ensuring uninterrupted operations in remote and challenging environments. With the capacity to store energy for extended periods, AVFB batteries become essential for supporting mining operations, offering a sustainable and cost-effective energy solution to power equipment and machinery, optimize grid stability, and enhance overall operational efficiency in the resource extraction sector.
