US power utility San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) has begun testing a 2MW/8MWh vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) in a microgrid to explore the technology’s capabilities at delivering grid-support services while increasing renewables penetration.
The project will serve as a project for testing the battery’s microgrid capabilities and maximise its ability to support the grid with ancillary services, including voltage and frequency regulation.
