Lowest Cost of Operation
The total cost of ownership of the VRB® is the lowest in the advanced battery storage industry.
Today, electricity can be stored in large enough quantities to support the grid, not just provide backup or emergency power. Energy storage, in effect, is becoming an asset class in itself, and Prudent's VRB-ESS® delivers the highest benefit at the lowest operating cost by:
- Storing (receiving and supplying back) a precise amount of energy to a power grid
- Presenting a defined rate of both storing and providing energy
- A defined calendar life, under specific conditions, with specified maintenance schedule and criteria
- Offering measurable round-trip efficiency (including parasitic losses) to be used for economic analysis
- A defined cycle life (total kWh transferred)
- A system design that can be used for more than one application to optimize grid operations
Prudent's energy storage systems have few replacement parts, virtually unlimited electrolyte life, and typically no change-out of cell stacks during a system's life time. With the longest cycle life in the industry – greater than 10,000 cycles – the VRB-ESS® is the best solution for capturing value from a megawatt-class system.
