Australian Vanadium Ltd. (AVL) has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with EPC service provider Metrowest Power Systems to pursue opportunities to deploy vanadium redox flow battery technology (VRFB) in Australia. The companies hope to push forward with larger projects and pave the way for the VRFB technology to demonstrate its strengths. The new alliance will rely on Metrowest’s track record and connections in the industrial and utility sectors, as well as the financial, marketing and technical capabilities of AVL. The latter’s 100%-owned subsidiary, VSUN Energy, provides promotion, installation and maintenance of energy storage solutions using VRFB. “This agreement will allow the companies to work together to bring to fruition some of the bigger project opportunities that we’ve been unable to tackle on our own,” said Vincent Algar, managing director of AVL. “VSUN’s marketing and energy analysis has been very successful, but with a lack of experience in implementation it has certainly been difficult to persuade government agencies, for example, about the aptitude of the company and the VRFBs it offers.” The MOU is for an initial term of 12 months, during which time the parties will investigate the potential to formalize the partnership. VSUN Energy and Metrowest will continue to offer VRFB from a variety of manufacturers, with joint projects being focused on 250 kW/1 MWh up to the multi-megawatt scale. AVL is also developing its Australian Vanadium Project, one of the highest-grade vanadium projects globally, with 183.6 million tons at 0.76% vanadium pentoxide. Proven ore reserves amount to 9.82 million tons at 1.07% and the project holds a probable reserve of 8.42 million tons at 1.01%. The company has also developed local production capacity for high-purity vanadium electrolyte, which forms a key component of VRFB. As for other grid-scale VRFB developments, Canadian company CellCube Energy Storage Systems and Pangea Energy have revealed plans to install a 50 MW/200 MWh vanadium redox flow battery storage system in South Australia. The Pangea Storage Project is in the latter stages of pre-development at a 79-hectare Port Augusta site. Pending due diligence and review the constructions are set to take place in late 2019.

Australia turned off among its biggest coal-fired power plant after virtually 52 years of procedure as the country accelerates its transition far from fossil fuels. The Liddell plant in the Hunter region north of Sydney, which made use of to generate adequate power for regarding 750,000 homes, was turned off on Friday, utility AGL Energy Ltd. said. The business intends to construct a large grid-scale battery on the site, part of a wider plan to transform the coal-producing area into a clean-energy hub. " Today notes the end of one chapter for the site, yet additionally the start of an additional with our strategies to transform the site into the Hunter Energy Hub," Chief Executive Officer Damien Nicks stated in a statement. Australia is in the middle of among the world's fastest shifts from coal-- which currently creates over half of its electrical power-- to a renewables-dominated grid. By the middle of the following decade the majority of its coal plants will have closed, and also by 2040 near 100% of its electrical power will be created by wind, solar and also hydropower. Australia's Changing Energy Mix Renewables are anticipated to rapidly change the country's grid AGL was the target of a takeover last year by Canadian private equity titan Brookfield Possession Monitoring as well as billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes, that intended to shut its coal plants early and also replace them with renewables. That proposal failed, however Cannon-Brookes subsequently built an 11% stake in the business as well as drove a board and executive shakeup that caused a much more ambitious emissions-reduction approach.
