In this project an Elestor flow battery is installed on a Norwegian island, located near the arctic circle. 2016: Pilots Starting November 2016, Elestor successfully carried out a handful of field pilots, working under real conditions and connected to renewable energy sources and the grid, though with limited powers and capacities.
Elestor reshapes the world of batteries in ways that promise to transform the entire energy system. “We will soon see the emergence of entirely new power plants with hydrogen bromine flow batteries at their heart,” says Wiebrand Kout, Chief Technology Officer.
The technology is affordable and easy to scale, which means we can speed up the spread of Elestor flow batteries to store large volumes of electricity over long durations. Find out why we dedicate our lives to a sustainable future and discover how we help shape a new, clean energy system that will improve everyone’s lives.
There is no particular need for Elestor’s flow batteries to be either square or cylindrical, which are common formats for conventional batteries. Indeed, the hydrogen and the bromine can be stored in enormous tanks, including in tanks previously used to store other chemicals.
A rapid transition to a new and entirely clean energy system is now possible, thanks to Elestor’s large-scale flow battery that can store renewable energy for long periods of time. Elestor’s flow battery is constructed around an electrochemical cell, where chemical energy is provided by the chemical reaction between two active materials.
Last year, Elestor partnered with one of the world’s leading independent tank storage companies, Royal Vopak. The joint ambition is to scale up the electricity storage capacity of these flow batteries to 3,000 kWh and then further develop it to industrial scale. This development is part of Vopak’s New Energy strategy.
As such, the Elestor technology bridges the two worlds of energy storage: with batteries and in the form of hydrogen. Cost reduction and revenue opportunities also arise as a result of renewable energy’s reliance on sunshine and wind.
