Ten\u00a0Redflow ZBM2<\/a> zinc-bromine flow batteries – which have a ten year warranty and are great for use in high ambient temperatures – are storing 100kWh of energy to provide a village in mountainous northern Thailand with electricity – for the first time. Ban Pha Dan,\u00a070km south of Chiang Mai is surrounded by a wildlife reserve where power poles are forbidden – consequently access to the national grid has never been an option.<\/p>\n

The installation – which is backed by the Thai Government – consists of a 19.8kWp solar array; energy from which is harvested by five Victron BlueSolar 150\/85 MPPT<\/a> solar charge controllers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

30kW of power is available to the school, village hall, and temple, thanks to three Victron Quattro 48\/10000\/140<\/a> Inverter-Chargers working in parallel. Lithium batteries deliver power to the houses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The well proven plug-in compatibility<\/a>\u00a0between Redflow battery technology nested within a Victron installation is seamless – and thanks to a\u00a0Color Control<\/a> GX, interrogation, control and management of all devices is available at the touch of a button via the CCGX screen, or remotely using the free to use Victron Remote Management<\/a> Portal.<\/p>\n

Thailand\u2019s Energy Minister Dr Siri Jirapongphan visited Ban Pha Dan to inspect the new microgrid and energy storage system in mid-January.\u00a0Dr Jirapongphan said that non-fossil energy would account for 35 per cent of Thailand’s total energy capacity by 2037.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Redflow<\/a> Managing Director and CEO Tim Harris said ‘The Ban Pha Dan deployment provided a compelling model for remote communities in both developing and developed countries. This solar-powered microgrid with energy storage shows how to provide environmentally-friendly energy for remote communities.’<\/p>\n

The flow batteries and Victron equipment were installed by TSUS<\/a>, Redflow’s long term partner in Thailand. TSUS has extensive experience in the design and build of renewable energy systems in both the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the advantages of zinc-bromine flow batteries are: 100 per cent daily depth of discharge, tolerance of high ambient temperatures, a simple recycling path, no propensity for thermal runaway and sustained energy delivery throughout their operating life.<\/p>\n

Tim Harris says: ‘Just like mobile telephony leapfrogged fixed-line telecommunications in developing countries, microgrids can deliver the benefits of modern technology without the massive infrastructure spend required by grid-based energy utilities.\u00a0Redflow believes microgrids present a strong market opportunity for our zinc-bromine flow batteries.’<\/p>\n
