Using Vanadium. The vanadium flow battery (VFB) was first developed in the 1980s. Vanadium is harder than most metals and can be used to make stronger lighter steel, in addition to other industrial uses. It is unusual in that it can exist in four different oxidation states (V2+, V3+, V4+, and V5+), each of which holds a different electrical charge.
The use of energy storage systems, and in particular, Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) seems to be a good solution for reducing the installed power with a peak shaving strategy.
