What is Vsun energy?

VSUN Energy creates safe and reliable renewable energy storage solutions using vanadium flow battery (VFB) technology. Vanadium flow batteries provide long duration energy storage. The VFB can stabilise grid supply through frequency control, smoothing and demand response.

What is Phase 2 of Vsun energy?

Classified as Phase 2 of the project, VSUN Energy will develop a construction-ready, detailed design and delivery strategy for modular, commercial, turnkey, utility-scale 100 MW VFB BESS on a 4-hour (100 MW / 400 MWh) and 8- hour (100MW/800MWh) duration.

How will vanadium oxides help Vsun energy's downstream business?

These vanadium oxides will be used in the midstream production of vanadium electrolyte, supporting VSUN Energy’s downstream VFB BESS installation, operation, and maintenance business. AVL’s Chief Executive Officer Graham Arvidson said it’s a significant step to develop the downstream value of its business.

How can a new energy system be made in Réunion?

This includes replacing sugar cane with different food crops; restricting urbanization; increasing the capacity for producing energy from waste; significantly scaling up photovoltaics that convert sunlight directly into energy; and convincing Réunion islanders to make certain lifestyle changes.

What is Vsun's ESS project?

In this, second phase of the project, VSUN will develop a construction-ready, detailed design and delivery strategy for modular, commercial, “turnkey,” utility-scale 100 MW VFB BESS with four-hour and eight-hour durations.
