Sumitomo Electric is unveiling its advanced vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) at the Energy Storage North America (ESNA) conference, held from February 25-27, 2025. This next-generation energy storage system boasts improved energy density, cost efficiency, and extended operational life. Key features of the new VRFB include:
* 15% higher energy density, reducing physical footprint and enhancing space efficiency
* 30% cost reduction through optimized system design, improved circulation control, and enhanced manufacturing processes
* Up to 30-year operational life through long-life materials and proper maintenance
At ESNA, visitors can explore real-world deployment examples and learn how Sumitomo Electric’s VRFB technology supports Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) applications. The company will begin taking orders for the new VRFB in 2025, building on its decades of expertise in VRFB technology and reinforcing its leadership in sustainable energy storage solutions.
