Invinity Energy Systems is a leading manufacturer of utility-grade vanadium flow batteries (VFB), specializing in non-lithium energy storage solutions. Formed in 2020 through the merger of redT energy and Avalon Battery, the company has established itself as a significant player in the energy storage sector. Invinity’s modular, factory-built VFB systems are optimized for gigawatt-hour scale applications, making them ideal for large-scale energy projects. The company’s latest product, ENDURIUM™, enhances performance and cost-effectiveness for industrial-scale energy storage implementations, supporting the transition to renewable energy systems worldwide.
Battery Technology
Invinity’s vanadium flow batteries represent an advanced approach to energy storage, offering distinct advantages over traditional battery technologies. These systems store energy in an aqueous vanadium-based solution that maintains its effectiveness throughout the battery’s lifespan, unlike conventional batteries that degrade over time. The technology provides exceptional safety features with zero risk of thermal incidents and delivers consistent performance for over 25 years of continuous operation.
- Extended operational life spanning 25+ years
- Ability to maintain full storage capacity throughout the entire lifespan
- Zero degradation after 20,000+ deep discharge cycles
- Complete recyclability of components
- Non-flammable composition
- Operation across various temperature conditions
Their newest innovation, ENDURIUM™, represents a significant advancement in VFB technology, offering enhanced energy density and improved system integration capabilities for utility-scale applications.
Recent Projects
In recent developments, Invinity has expanded its manufacturing capacity in Canada to 200 MWh annually and increased its UK production capability to over 500 MWh. The company received recognition through the 2024 Energy Storage Milestone Award for scaling its Canadian operations. A notable achievement includes the successful deployment of an 8.4 MWh vanadium flow battery at the Chappice Lake Solar Storage Project in Alberta, Canada, demonstrating the technology’s effectiveness in large-scale applications.
