Will PowerCube battery storage system be installed in South Korea?

VFlow Technologies (VFlowTech), a startup spun off from Nanyang Technical University’s CleanTech laboratory in Singapore, said last week that its PowerCube battery storage system technology will be installed at existing gas stations in South Korea.

How long do vanadium flow batteries last?

Vanadium flow batteries store their energy in tanks which means they have much larger capacity for energy storage and are also cost efficient as they can last for up to twenty-five years.

What is a green EV charging station in South Korea?

The project in South Korea follows a successful deployment of a test-bed project in Singapore, supported by Temasek Foundation to demonstrate the efficacy of its scalable long-duration energy storage technology. Green EV charging stations have been installed at JTC CleanTech One’s carpark, located in Jurong Innovation District.

Does standard energy have a solution to a vanadium-ion battery problem?

Standard Energy believes it has a solution to that issue. Punctured, beaten, dropped and even directly exposed to fire through numerous safety tests by multiple institutions, the company’s vanadium-ion battery did not show any sign of ignition, according to the company. But that’s not all there is to it.

Can a vanadium battery supply be securing a supply chain?

Vanadium is a common material worldwide, and it’s even found in Korea. So securing a vanadium supply is not that difficult. Demand for lithium-ion batteries is soaring, especially with the strong EV demand, and the preexisting battery technologies inevitably come with supply chain risks since they use rare earth materials.

How many EV charging stations will Korea have by 2025?

Young Il Lee, Director of RC-EIT from SeoulTech said: “ Korea plans to have 1.13 million electric vehicles on the road with 500,000 EV charging stations by 2025. Our collaboration with VFlow-Tech to install green EV charging stations at gas stations ensures we are ready to meet future energy needs for a fully sustainable energy supply.
