In a market announcement on Wednesday, parent company Australian Vanadium Ltd says analysis completed by VSUN Energy finds that a four-hour 100MW vanadium flow battery energy storage system (BESS) can deliver a levelised cost of storage (LCOS) of around $A274/MWh.

Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $144/kWh, $208/kWh, and $293/kWh in 2030 and $88/kWh, $156/kWh,
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries,
Using the detailed NREL cost models for LIB, we develop base year costs for a 60-MW BESS with storage durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours, shown in terms of energy capacity ($/kWh) and power capacity ($/kW) in Figures 1 and 2,
The 2024 ATB represents cost and performance for battery storage with durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours. It represents lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)—primarily those with nickel manganese
The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations. In September 2021, DOE launched the Long-Duration Storage Shot which aims to reduce costs by 90% in storage
The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is a cost-effective, highly efficient, and long-lasting large-scale energy storage technology that uses vanadium ions as the active material in a
In combination, the system offers three different energy tank sizes and can provide between 3 and 12 hours at what the company describes as the lowest cost on an industrial level. The technology, based on the vanadium

The dashed lines assume a remediation servicing fee of $4/kilowatt-hour, the dotted lines a servicing fee of $20/kilowatt-hour. The horizontal blue line is the cost of a vanadium electrolyte, presented as a
A battery that can provide power for as long as 24 hours will play an important role in enhancing our energy resilience, increasing flexibility, and reducing our energy costs, while also giving our researchers the
For energy storage, the capital cost should also include battery management systems, inverters and installation. The net capital cost of Li-ion batteries is still higher than
In a market announcement on Wednesday, parent company Australian Vanadium Ltd says analysis completed by VSUN Energy finds that a four-hour 100MW vanadium flow battery energy storage system (BESS) can deliver a levelised cost of storage (LCOS) of around $A274/MWh.
Australian long duration energy storage hopeful VSUN Energy says it can deliver a grid-scale vanadium flow battery with up to eight hours of storage capacity that can compete, on costs, with lithium-ion battery products currently in the market.
For battery energy storage systems (BESS), the analysis was done for systems with rated power of 1, 10, and 100 megawatts (MW), with duration of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours. For PSH, 100 and 1,000 MW systems at 4- and 10-hour durations were considered. For CAES, in addition to these power and duration levels, 10,000 MW was also considered.
Non-battery systems, on the other hand, range considerably more depending on duration. Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours.
Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours. Li-ion LFP offers the lowest installed cost ($/kWh) for battery systems across many of the power capacity and energy duration combinations.
Vanadium flow battery technology offers a number of advantages over the lithium-ion; starting with their ability to provide the sort of 8-12 hour storage so desperately needed on modern renewable grids and closely followed by the sort of longevity afforded by a theoretically unlimited battery cycle life.
