Abstract
The only commercially available battery system that is feasible for energy storage is the Pb-acid battery. It possesses, however, a number of limitations which have led to an on-going effort around the world to solve the problem of energy storage using advanced battery systems. Following initial research and development efforts with zinc-chromium, zinc-bromide, sodium-sulphide and iron-chromium redox flow batteries, the zinc-bromide and sodium sulphur batteries were selected for the 1 MW demonstration phase, based on their superior performance and foot-print energy density compared with the other two systems. In spite of the shortcomings of the Fe-Cr system, however, the large number of attractive features offered by redox flow battery systems, prompted an investigation in 1984 into using alternative redox couples to overcome some of these limitations. Trials are underway in the use of vanadium battery systems in a solar demonstration house in Thailand and in and electric golf-cart to demonstrate the concept of the vanadium redox battery for electric vehicles. Due to its relatively low energy density, the vanadium battery would presently be limited to applications such as recreational vehicles, buses and vans, however with modifications it could lead to a battery which would meet all the requirements stipulated by
