I-Horizon Power Iqala i-Vanadium Battery Tech Trial e-Australia

Umhlinzeki wamandla wesifunda saseWestern Australia ophethwe nguhulumeni i-Horizon Power wethule ngokusemthethweni uhlolo lwebhethri le-vanadium eligeleza engxenyeni esenyakatho yezwe njengoba liphenya ukuthi lingahlanganisa kanjani isitoreji samandla sesikhathi eside kunethiwekhi yayo, ama-microgrid, nezinye izinhlelo zamandla angaphandle kwegridi.

I-Horizon Power isebenzise ibhethri le-vanadium flow battery (VFB) elingu-78 kW/220 kWh e-Kununurra eNtshonalanga ye-Australia njengoba ihlola ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bungasetshenziswa kanjani kangcono ukusekela ukuphakelwa kwamandla avuselelekayo ezindaweni zesifunda nezikude.

Iphrojekthi yokuhlola izohlola ukuthi ubuchwepheshe be-VFB - abathi abasekeli bungahlinzeka ngamahora angu-12 okugcina futhi asebenze kulo lonke izinga lokushisa elibanzi - bungaxazulula izinselele zobuchwepheshe ezihlobene nokusungula izixazululo zesikhathi eside zokugcina amandla ezindaweni ezimbi kakhulu.

Isikhulu esiphezulu se-Horizon Power uStephanie Unwin sithe kungokokuqala ngqa ukuhlolwa kwezobuchwepheshe be-vanadium flow eNtshonalanga Australia futhi uma kuphumelela, kuzoba uguquko lwangempela lomdlalo wamandla ahlanzekile futhi onokwethenjelwa emiphakathini yesifunda nekude.

“I-Kununurra, enesimo sezulu esishisayo nesinomswakama, iyindawo enenselele yokugcina amandla ebhethri,” kusho yena. "Ukuhlola ibhethri le-vanadium eligeleza kulezi zimo ezimbi kakhulu kuzosisiza ukuthi sifunde okwengeziwe ngamakhono alo kanye nethuba lokuthi lihlanganiswe ngempumelelo nenethiwekhi yethu, iningi lakhona elingaphansi kwamazinga okushisa aphezulu."

Ibhethri elingu-220 kWh lithathwe kumkhiqizi ozinze e-United Kingdom, i-Invinity Energy Systems kodwa lihlinzekwa yinkampani ekomkhulu lasePerth i-VSUN Energy, inkampani ephethwe yi-Australian Vanadium Ltd. (AVL), esingethe ukufakwa nokusetshenziswa.

Isikhulu se-AVL u-Graham Arvidson uthe ubuchwepheshe be-VFB buhlinzeka ngenye indlela “efakazelwe” kubuchwepheshe bebhethri ye-lithium-ion okwamanje obusa izinhlelo zokusebenza zokugcina amandla ezimile.

"Kuwubuchwepheshe obusunguliwe, obufakazelwe," kusho u-Arvidson. “Akuyona i-R&D futhi kungani ungababoni yonke indawo okwamanje ezindaweni ezinjenge-Australia yingoba icala elisetshenziswayo selifika manje. Manje isiza ngokwayo ngokushintsha kwamandla ngoba sibheka amabhethri ahlala isikhathi eside. Singena esigabeni esisha ngokuphelele somkhakha wezamandla lapho umnotho walawa mabhethri uzophoqa kakhulu.”

Ukuqina, ukuqina kwezinga lokushisa, namandla okugcina isikhathi eside kwamabhethri e-vanadium flow kuphakamisa ukuthi angadlala indima ebalulekile ekwehliseni ukusetshenziswa kwezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi ekuphehleni ugesi, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezinokhahlo nasezindaweni ezikude.

U-Horizon uthe iphrojekthi yokuhlola i-Kununurra izoyihlinzeka ngolwazi olubalulekile lokusebenza nokuqonda ubuchwepheshe be-VFB. Umshayeli wezinyanga eziyi-12 uzophinde ayinikeze izifundo zokuhlanganisa isitoreji samandla isikhathi eside kunethiwekhi yayo kanye nezinhlelo zamandla angekho kugridi.

"Sibheke phambili ekufundeni okwengeziwe mayelana namandla okuthi lobu buchwepheshe buhlanganiswe ngokuphumelelayo kunethiwekhi yethu, sisekela ukuthunyelwa kwebhethri esikhathini esizayo kuyo yonke indawo yethu," kusho u-Unwin.

I-Horizon inesibopho sokuletha izixazululo zamandla endaweni yonkana yesevisi ehlanganisa u-2.3 million square km. Isebenzisa i-North West Interconnected System (NWIS) esifundeni sase-Pilbara, inethiwekhi encane ye-Esperance, kanye nama-microgrid angu-34 emadolobheni esifunda nemiphakathi ekude.
