VisBlue draws threads into the university world which gives us insight into the development of redox flow technology. Here you can read more about which projects we are currently participating in and what findings are being made in connection with the research.
Organic Redox Flow Battery Systems, or ORBATS as this project is called, is an ambitious project focused on optimizing energy storage, both in cost, as well as in efficiency and reducing the impact that energy storage has on the environment.
With ORBATS, we want to develop a redox flow battery technology that incorporates a non-corrosive organic liquid with a more soluble electrolyte fluid. Together with Vestas, Aarhus University, DTU Energy, Harvard University and Lithium Balance, VisBlue has started a project with the objective of creating solutions in this field.
However, the technology is still at the R&D level, which means that it will take a few years before it becomes commercially available.
This project aims to educate young students and school students on the smart energy grid of the future and how our technology can act as an auxiliary tool to make this an opportunity.
At VisBlue, we are constantly striving to optimize our product and business, and one of the things that we are currently working on is to create a more circular economy for our business, which benefits both our customers, VisBlue and the environment.
When we take all this into account, our customers do not have to do this.
VisBlue has been awarded funding from the EU to start our own “RethinkBusiness” project. Along with support funding, we have been assigned an external consultant to help formulate how we can implement the 'Cradle to Cradle' mindset into our business.
The aim of this project is to support, develop and improve a commercial production of a Danish vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) and energy storage with quality assurance. VisBlue does this by testing, optimizing and demonstrating the collaboration between VRFB technology and photovoltaic systems, water heating and heat pumps.
In addition, this project also aims to demonstrate the potential of VRFB technology, as a buffer in the power grid, in an increasingly decentralized energy production.
The goal of this project is to improve a digital interface solution to prepare the market for a Danish-produced vanadium redox flow battery system (VRFB).
The project attempts to optimize an independent, digital service product that can improve the digital communication between a VRFB and the photovoltaic system, the energy grid and the end user.
In collaboration with EUDP, Eniig and Aarhus University, VisBlue is involved in the Grid Connected Flow Batteries project, which aims to eliminate inappropriate fluctuations in a local energy grid on a residential road equipped with rooftop solar photovoltaic systems.
This is done by placing a vanadium redox flow battery next to the substation. The flow battery acts as the net buffer for the excess energy produced by the solar cells. The flow battery thus evens out the voltage and reduces the load on the power grid. In addition, the buildings connected to this substation will reap the benefit of utilizing the optimum power from the solar cells.
The project aims to establish an energy community based on a low-carbon microgrid that promotes the substitution of fossil fuel consumption and thus the reduction of CO2 in urban spaces, where innovative technological solutions in the field of energy storage in chemical and electrochemical form play a crucial role. With an investment of EUR 8 145 027.00, this project is co-financed under the P2020|COMPETE — Projects Mobilisers Programme in EUR 5 325 434.81 from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The Baterias 2030 project, led by DST Solar, S.A., will be developed by a consortium of 23 co-promoters, of which 14 are companies and 9 are entities of the R&I Portuguese National System, ensuring correct and efficient execution of the objectives of the project including technical-scientific objectives and economic/commercial objectives

The BlueEnergy project aims to develop the next generation of RFB technology for stationary applications, at low cost, for storing electricity from renewable energy sources. With an investment of EUR 1 174 334.80, this project is co-financed under the P2020|COMPETE — Projects in Copromotion Program with €704,096.18 from the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER). The BluEnergy project will be in force for three years, from June 2020 to June 2023, with Simoldes Plásticos, S.A. as promoter, Visblue Portugal and the University of Porto as co-promoters
