High energy efficiency is a prime factor to ensure economical sustainability for large-scale ESSs. The Vanadium Ion Battery offers an energy efficiency of 96%. The energy efficiency remains high even under high power and low temperature conditions. This remarkable efficiency is met thanks to Standard Energy’s highly conductive materials and refining technologies.

Continuous high power operation is available without an additional cooling system. High-efficiency material technology, unique material stacking configurations, and optimal heat management design enable high power while saving electricity that conventional batteries require for external cooling. Due to high power characteristics, the operation costs can be saved by reducing the battery installation capacity required for each application. 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. Standard Energy developed vanadium reforming technology and surface electrode technology to minimize irreversible side reactions. Combined with unique stabilizing technology, the life of the Vanadium Ion Battery is beyond comparison.

Would you use a battery with high performance, but with ignition? No ignition hazard due to Vanadium electrolyte mainly composed of water and a new cell architecture. 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.
