Description du projet
Des batteries organiques à flux redox de haute performance et à faible coût
Financé par l’UE, le projet HIGREEW, dont l’équipe est composée de neuf partenaires et du coordinateur de CIC energiGUNE, vise à concevoir un système efficace et peu coûteux de batterie organique à flux redox. Cette nouvelle batterie reposera sur des électrolytes organiques hydrosolubles peu coûteux et compatibles avec des membranes optimisées à faible résistance et une cinétique d’électrode rapide. La nouvelle technologie permettra aux chercheurs de développer des batteries à flux redox plus respectueuses de l’environnement, avec une puissance et une densité énergétique plus élevées tout en offrant une durée de vie plus longue. Le consortium se fixe pour objectif un coût de stockage nivelé inférieur à 0,1 EUR/kWh/cycle d’ici la fin du projet et à 0,05 EUR/kWh/cycle d’ici 2030.
Objectif
The objective of HIGREEW (Affordable High-performance Green REdox floW batteries) is to design, develop and validate and an advanced redox flow battery, based on new water-soluble low-cost organic electrolyte compatible with optimized low resistance membrane and fast electrodes kinetics for a high energy density and long-life service. The battery prototype engineering design will be twofold: affordable balance of plant to optimize performance through advanced control strategy to achieve an LCOS of < 0.10€/kWh/cycle at the end of the project and 0.05€/kWh/cycle by 2030 and designed for recycling, to maximize the recycling of the components.
The consortium is formed by 9 partners coordinated by CIC Energigune, Spanish research centre, that will be the focus on electrolyte and algorithm development to maximise the batteries life span and minimise its LCOS. The development of advanced materials will be complemented with the University Autonomous of Madrid to improve membranes performance and the French CNRS research centre to optimize the electrode. The 3 key components will be tested and validated at lab scale and cell level with the collaboration of the University of West Bohemia (CZ). The stack engineering will be developed by C-TECH, UK’s SME specialised in electrochemical and electro-heating process equipment, that will work together with Pinflow to optimize active components at laboratory scale and battery stack design. The system design and scale up to manufacture a battery prototype of 5Kw will be done in collaboration between Heights, UK’s engineering, and Gamesa Electric, Spanish large industry leader in renewables. The battery prototype will be tested and validated in the pilot plant of Siemens Gamesa -third party linked to Gamesa- located in Spain. The testing and validation will be the focus on safety-hazards, LCA and LCOS. The exploitation strategy will be led by Uniresearch, who are highly experienced in EU projects. The project will last 40M with a cost of 3,7M€.
