Description
Description | The Copwood VFB Energy Hub is a 20.7 MWh vanadium flow battery installation combined with a 3 MW solar array in East Sussex. It stores surplus daytime solar generation and discharges electricity back to the grid during peak demand periods, aiming to increase renewable power use and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The project is one of the UK's largest long-duration energy storage demonstrations and is designed for long operating life with a lower fire-risk profile compared to lithium-ion systems. |
