Operational Experience with a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery in a Off-Grid Renewable System at an Extreme Cold Climate

Vanadium Redox Flow Battery is an excellent solution as energy storage technology to overcome the limitations of intermittency of renewable sources, extreme location and weather conditions, flexible energy demand and more. The present study investigates the operational performance of a 20W/200 kWh vanadium redox flow battery integrated with 44.4 kW
p
at a high altitude off-grid location with a cold climate profile. The proposed work envisages towards reduction of carbon footprint by producing green hydrogen and lowering diesel consumption laterally.
