Copper-based Flow Batteries for Energy Storage and Renewables Integration
The CuBER project proposes the validation of a promising RFB technology, the all-copper redox flow battery (CuRFB), able to cover a wide range of the aforementioned market applications due to its simple, modular and scalable design, security and sustainability. Firstly, a 5kWDC CuRFB pilot will be designed for its integration in Smart Cities and residential self-consumption market segments within the CuBER action. Subsequently, the planning of further developments will allow its application at larger scales, both as back-up power system in isolated areas (i.e. copper mining) and for energy management and grid balancing in renewable power production.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, H2020-LC-BAT-2019, under Grant Agreement no. 875605. The total grant provided by the EC reaches to 787 975,00 € for the whole consortium. Coordinated by AARHUS UNIVERSITET, the CuBER consortium is composed 11 partners.
Duration: 57 meses, del 1/01/2020 al 30/09/2024
ENDEF’s ROLE: ENDEF provides the expertise on solar energy and solar technology during the development of the battery, and provides the use case for the first prototype. ENDEF will be in charge of the testing in a real case.
