A Victorian apple orchard will expand its PV fleet to 160 kW and add a 20kW/80kWh vanadium redox flow battery as it seeks to increase its renewable energy consumption. The battery system was sold to family owned and operated business Priest Bros by ASX-listed company Australian Vanadium Limited , through its battery subsidiary VSUN Energy.
The battery system will provide a minimum of four hours of stored solar energy. It will be installed together with a 100 kW PV array by VSUN, in collaboration with renewable systems provider Profit Share Power.
ASX-listed company Australian Vanadium Limited said on Wednesday that its battery subsidiary, VSUN Energy, had sold a VRFB storage system to family-owned apple growing business, Priest Bros. VSUN, in collaboration with renewable systems provider Profit Share Power, said it would install the battery alongside an existing 60kW solar array at the orchards in Pakenham, and add a further 100kW of new PV generation.
Australian Vanadium Ltd has sold a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) which will form part of a solar and energy storage system at an orchard in Victoria. The vanadium energy storage system, which has been sold by AVL’s subsidiary VSUN Energy Pty Ltd, will be installed at Priest Bros orchard in Pakenham, on the edge of the Gippsland region.
There has been a signing of a non-binding memorandum of understanding by the Australian Vanadium Ltd with Metrowest Power Systems; the EPC service provider, for pursuing opportunities to set out the technology of vanadium redox flow battery in Australia. The firms are hopeful about pushing forward with greater projects and making a way for the VRFB technology to give a demonstration of its capabilities.
Australian Vanadium Limited (AVL), parent to vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) storage system company VSUN Energy, will jointly look at opportunities with Metrowest Power Systems, a maker of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
Australian Vanadium Ltd has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Metrowest Power Systems to facilitate energy storage opportunities using vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology.
Metrowest’s proven track record and networks in industrial and utility sectors, combined with the financial, marketing and technical capabilities of AVL and its subsidiary VSUN Energy, will provide the MoU participants the ability to tackle larger projects and rival prominent market players.
Australian Vanadium and Metrowest Power Systems have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to look at energy storage opportunities in Australia using vanadium redox flow battery technology.
Australia is one of the fastest growing energy storage markets in the world with the most mature storage technologies being pumped hydro and lithium-ion batteries. But other technologies have been developing in the background – such as flow batteries – which provide opportunities in larger scale applications.
With technology born out of the University of New South Wales, VSUN Energy also offers Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries, which use a circulating electrolyte solution of vanadium pentoxide to store the charge in tanks.
