The Vanadium Redox Battery (VRB) is a flow battery technology that has technical performance characteristics which are attractive for a number of industrial energy storage applications, including diesel-abatement concepts in Remote Area PowerSupply (RAPS) applications, standby power plant, medium and large-scale grid-connected load-leveling, and distributed power conditioning. VRB technology is currently undergoing commercialization. The VRB exhibits considerable cost competitiveness againstmany conventional energy storage technologies, and has a number of unique design attributes well suited for applications within telecommunications powering infrastructure. This paper describes concepts to integrate the basic VRB into a new and uniqueenergy storage technology - the Vanadium Energy Storage System (VESS) - for use in telecommunications powering applications.
