Vanadium’s role in the growing energy grid storage will increase over the coming years. Furthermore, the Biden administration in the US has also pledged to deploy 1050-1570 gigawatts of solar power by 2050 and more than 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind in the United States by 2030.

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.
