In this episode, Bill Derasmo sits down with Shane McBee, vice president of business development at Invinity Energy Systems, to unpack why vanadium may hold the key to solving one of the grid's most persistent challenges. Invinity's vanadium flow batteries (VFB) store energy in liquid electrolyte rather than solid electrodes, delivering virtually unlimited charge cycles, zero fire risk, and a lower lifetime cost than lithium-ion. McBee discusses how VFBs differ from competing chemistries through the real-world performance of some of Invinity's projects, and what the growing appetite for long-duration storage means for the future of the grid. Listen in to learn how Invinity is making a compelling case that lithium-ion can't go it alone as renewable capacity surges worldwide.
