VisBlue A/S, established in 2014 in Aarhus, Denmark, specializes in developing and manufacturing sustainable energy storage solutions using vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). The company emerged from academic collaboration between Aarhus University and the University of Porto, bringing innovative battery technology to market. VisBlue’s mission focuses on creating a stable, green electricity grid by providing efficient energy storage solutions for renewable sources like solar and wind power. Their commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through battery systems that are 99% recyclable, supporting the transition toward clean energy.
Battery Technology
VisBlue’s primary innovation lies in their vanadium-based redox flow battery technology, which offers distinct advantages over conventional energy storage systems. The batteries feature independent scaling of power and capacity, allowing customization based on specific energy requirements. The technology utilizes a vanadium electrolyte that maintains its properties indefinitely, contributing to a system lifespan exceeding 20 years.
The company’s SMARTflow technology optimizes charging cycles by analyzing weather patterns and electricity grid prices, ensuring maximum efficiency. Their batteries are non-flammable and safe for installation in populated areas, making them suitable for various applications. The system’s design prioritizes environmental responsibility, with components that maintain value throughout their lifecycle and can be efficiently recycled.
These batteries serve multiple sectors, including industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and residential complexes. The technology excels in storing renewable energy, providing backup power, and stabilizing electrical grids, particularly in areas with high renewable energy penetration.
Recent Projects
In recent developments, VisBlue formed a supplier agreement with German manufacturer Schmalz for stack components in their redox flow systems, strengthening their position in northern European markets. The company is advancing the Grid Connected Flow Batteries (GCFB) project alongside Eniig and Aarhus University, testing VRFBs for low voltage grid stabilization. They’re also participating in the BluEnergy initiative to develop next-generation flow battery technology with improved cost efficiency.
Investors
VisBlue has secured financial backing from BOREAN, demonstrating investor confidence in their technology and market potential. Strategic partnerships with energy companies Eniig and DanSolar have further strengthened their market position. These relationships support VisBlue’s expansion plans and technological development efforts in the renewable energy sector.
