"Perth-based based energy storage hopeful Avess Energy is firming up plans to
demonstrate its first vanadium redox flow battery, in a deal that could see its
long duration technology used to help power an off-grid mine site.
Avess said on Tuesday it has signed a binding memorandum of understanding (MoU)
with Atlantic Vanadium to demonstrate its 50kW/250kWh (five hour) vanadium flow
battery (VFB) prototype at Atlantic’s world-class Windimurra Vanadium Project
in Western Australia.
The demonstration will seek to integrate the battery prototype along with some
solar panels into an existing microgrid to power non-essential loads at the
mine’s campsite, located 670km north of Perth and 80km from Mount Magnet.
Avess says the MoU provides will allow it to validate its VFB technology with a
proven vanadium developer while also unlocking “multiple synergies” for both
companies, including the ability to leverage Atlantic’s world-class vanadium
resource.
The companies say they will now work towards regulatory approvals and
definitive agreements on the microgrid project.
“The deployment of our 50kW/250kWh VFB at Windimurra represents a significant
milestone for Avess Energy,” said managing director Young Yu.
“This exciting partnership is another step towards the development of the local
vanadium supply chain.”"
