✦ Synopsis

The construction and performance of an all-vanadium redox flow system is described. The battery employs vanadyl sulphate m sulphurlc acid solution as the electrolyte, carbon felt as the electrode matenal, and an ionselective membrane as the separator. Workmg parameters, storage hfe, and a comparison of the charactenstlcs with other battery systems are also presented The cost of manufacture of a 1 kW battery of 5 kW h, 15 kW h, or 50 kW h capacity has been evaluated and the practical apphcatlon of the system m large stationary mstallatlons and electnc vehicles 1s also discussed
