How much does a vanadium flow battery energy storage system cost?
In a market announcement on Wednesday, parent company Australian Vanadium Ltd says analysis completed by VSUN Energy finds that a four-hour 100MW vanadium flow battery energy storage system (BESS) can deliver a levelised cost of storage (LCOS) of around $A274/MWh.
Can a vanadium flow battery compete with a lithium-ion battery?
Australian long duration energy storage hopeful VSUN Energy says it can deliver a grid-scale vanadium flow battery with up to eight hours of storage capacity that can compete, on costs, with lithium-ion battery products currently in the market.
What is a vanadium flow battery?
Vanadium flow battery technology offers a number of advantages over the lithium-ion; starting with their ability to provide the sort of 8-12 hour storage so desperately needed on modern renewable grids and closely followed by the sort of longevity afforded by a theoretically unlimited battery cycle life.
Can third-party vanadium oxides be used to advance the battery strategy?
In the early stages of VFB BESS deployment, third-party vanadium oxides can be used to advance the battery strategy independently of the Australian Vanadium Project’s timeline. However, longer term, the Company’s strategy remains focused on utilising its own high purity vanadium oxides in future VFB BESS deployments. 2. Battery technology selection
How much does vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) cost per pound?
The estimate assumes a vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) price of US$10 per pound and is calculated using standard industry models aligned with the Australian Energy Regulator. Notable LCOS assumptions include:
What is the cost of capital for battery storage projects?
Oxford Economics’ Cost of Capital survey for AEMO validated Synergies Economic Consulting WACC recommendations and gave actual examples of WACC for battery storage projects, ranging from 6% to 8.5%. AVL internal assumption, consistent with the market and other industry benchmarks.
