Flow Batteries Europe

🚀 Next stop on the Flow Batteries Tour is focused on Sweden’s first innovative microgrid using 100% locally produced green energy. 𝑮𝒐𝒂𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕? 💡  The village of Simris, in Sweden was looking to locally produce renewable energy for a community of 150 households but it needed a way to store and utilise the energy.  The challenge was to ensure that customers in the village who are connected to the local energy system would not experience a difference in the quality of power supplied by using a flow battery. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔?🌍  The energy for the households comes from wind turbines with installed capacity of 500 kilowatts (kW) and photovoltaic panels with 440 kW, supported by a flow battery system with 800 kW capacity.     CellCube’s vanadium flow battery technology overcame the renewable intermittency and acts as a buffer between demand and supply of energy in the village. The Simris project demonstrates how distributed renewable energy combined with energy storage can support quality power for distribution.     Learn more 👇 https://lnkd.in/eegj9c8z 

Imagine a world where electric vehicles (EV) can be refuelled in minutes, just like gas cars. It’s the promise of flow batteries, an emerging technology that could revolutionise the electric vehicle industry. Flow batteries have the potential to offer much longer driving ranges. As we look to the future, it’s clear that flow batteries have the potential to play a significant role in the evolution of electric vehicles. Learn more  👇 https://lnkd.in/eiRfMA5Y

📢 Important update: The European Commission has selected 85 innovative net-zero projects to receive €4.8 billion in grants from the Innovation Fund. Among them is a project featuring a hybrid energy storage system that combines lithium-ion and vanadium flow batteries, linked to a large-scale solar PV farm in France. While 337 project applications were submitted, only 85 projects received funding, which is expected to help reduce emissions by approximately 476 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent over their first ten years of operation.

💡This week the FBE team had a great experience at the 7th annual Energy Storage Global Conference (ESGC) in Brussels. Over 300 delegates came together to discuss key topics such as flexibility, long-duration energy storage (LDES), and the future of energy storage in Europe. 🔋⚡ The conference provided valuable insights into the evolving regulatory framework, market developments, and the crucial role of innovative technologies. It’s clear that the energy storage sector has a pivotal role to play in Europe’s transition to a net-zero power system by 2030. 🚀 A huge thank you to EASE - The European Association for Storage of Energy for bringing together such a vibrant community of experts and stakeholders. We look forward to applying the knowledge gained and continuing to shape the future of energy storage! Curious about our key takeaways and the main topics covered?
