OverviewApplicationsHistoryAdvantages and disadvantagesMaterialsOperationSpecific energy and energy densityCompanies funding or developing vanadium redox batteriesVRFBs'' large potential capacity may be best-suited to buffer the irregular output of utility-scale wind and solar systems. Their reduced self-discharge makes them potentially appropriate in applications that require long-term energy storage with little maintenance—as in military equipment, such as the sensor components of the GATOR mine system.
