Regional Queensland will be helping to supercharge the state’s future with the Prime Minister’s large grid battery plan. Maryborough, Townsville, Rockhampton and Gympie are expected to play a major manufacturing role. pic.twitter.com/D6Wo8ESzsF
The IEC New Work Item Proposal “Electrolyte for vanadium flow batteries” has been accepted
The IEC New Work Item Proposal “Electrolyte for vanadium flow batteries” has been accepted by all of the members, which means that we will start developing a new international standard for vanadium electrolyte in IEC: https://www.iec.ch/ords/f?p=103:38:13392960990367::::FSP_ORG_ID,FSP_APEX_PAGE,FSP_PROJECT_ID:1290,23,122658#
Visit of EU Energy Commissioner and Australian Minister for Climate Change and Energy
European Union Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson and the Hon Chris Bowen MP, Australian Minister for Climated Change and Energy toured UNSW, including a visit of CENELEST redox flow battery research facilities.
CENELEST attends SMART Energy 2024
This week, CENELEST took part in the Smart Energy Expo and Fair at the Conference Center in Sydney with an exhibition stand. Various participants presented to visitors what CENELEST is and can do for the research and development of redox flow batteries. The results of projects carried out with CENELEST were also presented. Smart Energy in Sydney is one of the largest trade fairs in Australia in the field of renewable energies and stationary energy storage.
SONAR final meeting in Karlsruhe
The final meeting of the EU project SONAR took place on 13.12.23. As a reminder: In SONAR, seven different research institutions worked on the development of a computational high-throughput screening process for novel organic active materials for redox flow batteries. The demonstrator is available at https://redoxfox.scai.fraunhofer.de. We will provide a final version of the project website at https://www.sonar-redox.eu. In other words, we will now reorganize it somewhat and have already started to do so, so that information and results from the individual SONAR participants will be available.
Finally, and very importantly, the Fraunhofer SCAI is now offering a service for all interested parties as a point of contact for the developed screening process. In principle, the screening is not limited to redox flow batteries, but can ultimately be adapted for all organic materials with specific properties, especially for other battery types.
It has been a special honor for me to coordinate this very interesting project over the last four years with these extremely professional and outstanding partners.
