While lithium-ion dominates today, the Seychelles Energy Commission is eyeing vanadium flow batteries. Why? Their liquid electrolyte is about as likely to combust as a sleeping sea turtle. Plus, they can store 8+ hours of energy – perfect for those loooong tropical nights.

The vanadium redox battery (VRB), also known as the vanadium flow battery (VFB) or vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), is a type of rechargeable which employs ions as. The battery uses vanadium's ability to exist in a solution in four different to make a battery with a single electroactive element instead of two.

VRFBs' main advantages over other types of battery: • energy capacity and power capacity are decoupled and can be scaled separately• energy capacity is obtained from the storage of liquid electrolytes rather than the cell itself• power capacity can be increased by adding more cells.

Located in one of the sunniest places in Canada and in a province historically known as one of the world's major centres for oil production, a 21 MWp solar array is colocated with Invinity's utility-scale VFB technology to generate enough low-cost, low-carbon electricity to serve the.
