Description:
Uni.System™,A Breakthrough Vanadium Flow Battery for Grid-Scale Applications. Research at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), plus the availability of commercial - "off the shelf" - components, has allowed the reliable vanadium flow battery energy storage system to be containerized, produced in volume, and available for onsite and large grid applications.
