INO-HUB OTVORÍ NOVÉ ŠPIČKOVÉ LABORATÓRIUM V KYSUCKOM NOVOM MESTE
V blízkej budúcnosti otvorí INO-HUB v Kysuckom Novom Meste nové, najmodernejšie laboratórium určené na testovanie vanádiových redoxných prietokových batérií (VRFB). Hlavným cieľom tohto zariadenia je optimalizácia kľúčových komponentov batérií – membrán, elektród a bipolárnych dosiek. Po optimalizácii budú tieto komponenty implementované do našich batérií s výkonom v kW, čím sa výrazne zlepší ich celkový výkon. […]
TEAMBUILDING ACTIVITY
Employees of INO-HUB Energy participated in a team-building event on the 25th of June in order to beautify the environment around the demonstrator. During this day the area next to the demonstrator was adjusted with gravel and soil. The concrete blocks were installed and subsequently various types of perennials were planted, such as succulent plants. […]
TEAMBUILDINGOVÁ AKTIVITA
Zamestnanci spoločnosti INO-HUB Energy sa 25. júna zúčastnili teambuildingového podujatia s cieľom skrášliť okolie demonštračného zariadenia. Počas tohto dňa bola oblasť vedľa demonštračného zariadenia upravená štrkom a pôdou. Boli inštalované betónové bloky a následne vysadené rôzne druhy trvaliek, napríklad sukulentné rastliny. Na záver si všetci spoločne vychutnali skvelý obed. Osobitné poďakovanie patrí kolegom za zabezpečenie […]
PUSHING OUR ELECTROLYTE TO THE LIMIT
As part of the TÜV certification process—and being the core of the battery—the vanadium electrolyte must be thoroughly characterized. This includes the analysis of various physicochemical properties as well as its flammability. While this may seem like a routine task, the characterization must be performed not only on the fully discharged electrolyte, but also on […]
POSÚVAME NAŠE ELEKTROLYTY NA HRANICE
V rámci certifikačného procesu TÜV – a ako jadro batérie – musí byť vanádiový elektrolyt dôkladne charakterizovaný. To zahŕňa analýzu rôznych fyzikálno-chemických vlastností, ako aj jeho horľavosti. Hoci sa to môže zdať ako rutinná úloha, charakterizácia sa musí vykonávať nielen na úplne vybitom elektrolyte, ale aj na kladne nabitom a vybitom elektrolyte. Aby sa dosiahol […]
REPRODUCIBILITY BETWEEN SINGLE-CELL EXPERIMENTS
Since Redox Flow Batteries are a very immature technology, the lack of testing protocols could be an inconvenience in terms of reproducibility between experiments. In this sense, R&D team has designed and set up a test rig where up to six lab-cells can be operated at the same time in a temperature-controlled box. The idea […]
PRÍPRAVA ZVÄZKU PRE SÉRIOVÚ VÝROBU
Na začiatku našej prototypovej fázy sme sa zamerali na vývoj zväzku s vysokým výkonom v súvislosti s účinnosťou obojsmerného cyklu. Teraz musíme zamerať pozornosť aj na požiadavky sériovej výroby. To zahŕňa niekoľko výziev: – Materiály musia byť zvolené tak, aby boli lacné a zároveň kvalitné. Preto je potrebné preveriť trh a otestovať niekoľko vzoriek v […]
GET THE STACK READY FOR MASS-PRODUCTION
While at the beginning of our prototyping phase we were focused on developing a stack with high performance regarding round trip efficiency, we now have to turn the spotlight also on the requirements of mass production. This involves several challenges: All these steps bring us closer to a stack that is suitable for mass production. […]
VANADIUM ELECTROLYTE: COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERIZATION
Vanadium redox flow batteries have a unique chemistry compared to other redox flow battery systems because the operation starts with the same electrolyte at both catholyte and anolyte sides. This is possible due to the chemical composition of the starting electrolyte, which consists of two vanadium salts: VOSO₄ and V₂(SO₄)₃. These represent vanadium in two […]
PARTICIPATION IN VISEGRAD 4 BUSINESS CONFERENCE
The annual Visegrad 4 Business Conference once again brought together leading figures from private the public sector to discuss key economic and technological challenges. Organized by four major business associations from Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, and Hungary, the event has established itself as a premier platform for cross-border cooperation, knowledge exchange, and strategic decision-making. Since its […]
