Continuous green hydrogen from tidal power will be produced as part of a new flow battery installation at Scotland’s European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney.
Claimed to be a world first, the project will see Invinity Energy Systems delivering a 1.8MWh vanadium flow battery (VFB) at EMEC’s tidal energy test site on the island of Eday.
VFBs can store and discharge industrial levels of power over multiple daily cycles and have a lifespan of 25 years, with little degradation.
The pilot project will aim to demonstrate that VFBs can act as a bridge between the natural variations of tidal power and the consistent energy requirements of hydrogen electrolysis. Link - more like this - link
