Innovation

At the heart of HydraRedox's technological innovation lies a distinctive 'single cell' configuration, where each cell functions autonomously. This innovative approach involves the continuous electronic monitoring and precise control of vital cell parameters such as voltage, electrolyte flow, state of charge (SOC), and current distribution within each cell. Combined with several other pioneering features, this design bestows upon the system exceptional qualities and benefits, including full customization, remarkable efficiency, extended lifespan, secure operation, and seamless integration with renewable energy sources.

Architecture

he HydraRedox system comprises two distinct and autonomous components: the power section and the energy section. The power section is constructed from individual electrochemical cells that are electrically interconnected in a series configuration. These cells serve the purpose of converting electrical energy into electrochemical energy during the charging process, and subsequently, they efficiently revert this stored energy back into electrical form during the discharge phase. To meet specific power demands, a modular cell system is employed, offering scalability options up to the multi-megawatt range. This adaptability renders the system exceptionally well-suited for large-scale applications. Conversely, the energy section is composed of tanks designed to store energy in an electrochemical state, employing an aqueous solution referred to as the electrolyte. This setup allows for energy to be retained for varying durations, ranging from a few minutes to well over 24 hours, thereby significantly expanding the range of feasible applications. This unique characteristic positions the HydraRedox system as an ideal choice for extended-duration energy storage needs.

What The System Offers

Competitive Advantages

Long Life

HydraRedox system aligns harmoniously with the extended longevity of renewable energy sources, reaching approximately 30 years. This remarkable durability is a direct result of the system's distinctive design, which circumvents the degradation commonly associated with cycling in conventional batteries.

What sets HydraRedox apart is its ability to maintain its performance integrity across the decades, standing in stark contrast to the wear and tear experienced by many other energy storage technologies. This inherent resilience, combined with straightforward maintenance procedures during operation, significantly extends the system's operational lifespan.

When comparing these merits to lithium-ion batteries, HydraRedox emerges as the superior choice both in terms of longevity and cost-effectiveness. While lithium-ion batteries may require replacement every six to eight years, significantly increasing long-term costs, the HydraRedox system continues to deliver dependable performance for three decades without degradation. This extended lifespan not only reduces the total cost of ownership but also supports sustainable and environmentally responsible energy solutions.
