數字新聞亞洲2023年2月7日,超額認購輪是由日本的風險投資,真正的科技控股將產能200兆瓦,擴大製造VFlowTech vanadium-based氧化還原流體電池的新加坡的供應商,提高了1000萬美元(RM43百萬)在一係列一輪融資。由日本的風險投資(VC)公司真正的科技控股,超額認購輪被返回了投資者從企業投資者包括種子資本、造波合作夥伴和個人投資者像邁克爾Gryseels唱燃料(VFlowTech主席),啟動在一份聲明中說。新的國際風險投資和戰略投資者持有(土耳其),包括İnci帕帕斯資本(美國)和碳零風險資本(新加坡)也參與了這輪。VFlowTech將使用資金建立一個200兆瓦生產線產能和擴大生產的250千瓦時模塊化vanadium-based長期能源存儲解決方案。它還將利用資金來擴大其市場份額土耳其、美國、日本和印度與新的合作夥伴。此外,該公司計劃加強研究和開發的努力進一步提高其一流的技術,以及增加係統容量和探索新的市場與新興可持續能源存儲解決方案的需求。迄今為止,VFlowTech聲稱它有商業部署30千瓦時和100千瓦時單位住宅應用程序和已完成的生產兆瓦時係統大規模微型智能電網"應用程序。60人的公司團隊正在使用資金,加強管理團隊在明年。Avishek Kumar博士的聯合創始人兼首席執行官VFlowTech說可再生能源存儲解決方案的發展將推動清潔技術的加速度和幫助其他行業來滿足他們的可持續發展目標更近一步。“我們已經看到增加對我們的電池的需求為電動汽車(EV)創建基礎設施收費,峰值變化的可再生能源,網格服務,封閉的社區,電信塔,24小時可再生能源集成,”他補充說。 “We are excited to bring our offerings into new and emerging markets where there is ample opportunity to help kickstart the energy transition,” Avishek said. Conventional energy storage technologies such as lithium-ion and lead acid batteries have limited functionality, are not environmentally-friendly and experience performance degradation over time. Meanwhile, standard vanadium redox flow batteries are costly, experience high parasitic losses, have poor round trip efficiency and are difficult to operate in tropical conditions. With its unique IPs and combined decades’ worth of experience in renewable energy, VFlowTech said it aims to overcome these long standing vulnerabilities through its modular vanadium redox flow-based energy storage solutions. Louis Christian Murayama, director, Real Tech Holdings Singapore said the firm is pleased to support VFlowTech in its mission to produce renewable energy storage solutions that are not only advanced and efficient, but also sustainable and accessible. “This is a nascent but highly important industry that will lay the foundation for a greener future,” he said. “We believe that VFlowTech has the potential to become a changemaker in this space, particularly with their expertise and unique IP,” Louis said. VFlowTech’s vanadium redox flow batteries, called PowerCubes, features a unique power stack design that enables a more compact design, a round-trip efficiency higher than the industry standard, reduced parasitic losses and effective operation in temperatures of over 55°C. This makes them one of the most economical and versatile renewable energy storage solutions in the market, the firm said. Zeki Şafak Ozan, CEO and board member, İnci Holding said grid-level energy storage is critical in the transition to sustainable energy and is among his chief focus areas. “VFlowTech is accelerating the transition to renewable energy while offering a solution to the current bottleneck in efficiency with its technology - we are happy to invest in this innovation, which offers a long-lasting, efficient and safe solution to the rapidly increasing energy storage need,” he added. “With the signing of our binding framework agreement, we will also have the opportunity to popularise this technology in the Turkish market,” Ozan said. VFlowTech’s market-leading renewable energy storage solutions have already been deployed to meet energy needs in various parts of the world through joint partnerships in Africa and Southeast Asia, with two batteries set to be deployed in Singapore’s Pulau Ubin this year. The company is also researching the expansion of flow batteries for terminal usage and running a two-year trial to explore scaling flow batteries using storage tank infrastructure.
