Vanadium resources development ideas will make major adjustments

The comprehensive utilization of the vanadium and titanium resources in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" and the industrial base plan will be released as soon as this year. Recently, the reporter learned from relevant sources that the idea of ​​using vanadium resources has undergone major adjustments. In the future, the smelting of vanadium-titanium and metal accompanying (co-)coal ore will gradually shift from steel-based products to the equal importance of steel and vanadium-titanium products. It is even possible that vanadium-titanium will eventually become the main product and steel may become a by-product.

Panzhihua Iron and Steel Institute of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Research Institute experts told reporters yesterday that the vanadium and titanium resources have been concerned by the national level, the future development and utilization will enhance the development and utilization of vanadium and titanium resources.

China is a country with a large reserve of vanadium resources in the world, and vanadium is mainly concentrated in Sichuan, accounting for 62.2% of the country's reserves.

Emerging industries are beginning to emerge

With the temporary suspension of the construction of new nuclear power in China and the severe power shortage situation, new energy such as solar energy and wind power has once again become an area of ​​concern. As the most high-quality energy storage facilities for wind power and solar power generation, industrialization and application of vanadium batteries will be on the historic stage.

With the formulation of the "12th Five-Year Plan" vanadium resources comprehensive utilization industrial base plan, and the recent establishment of the China Steel Association vanadium industry branch, it marked that the use of vanadium ore began to rise to the national level.

As the first president of vanadium industry branch, Pan Yugang, general manager of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group, revealed on the founding ceremony of vanadium branch that vanadium products manufacturing enterprises represented by Panzhihua Iron and Steel and Chenggang will actively promote the comprehensive development of vanadium resources. use.

In this process of comprehensive development and utilization, the reporter learned that vanadium batteries are precisely the areas with the most promising prospects for the use of vanadium. A number of people in the industry agree that vanadium batteries will drive the explosion of vanadium demand. Initial estimates by the brokerage firm that China's vanadium battery market will reach 1.6 trillion yuan.

Targeting the vanadium battery market

Vanadium batteries are all called full vanadium redox flow batteries.

At present, the development of vanadium batteries is accelerating. Last year, State Grid launched a 20 MW tender for wind energy and photovoltaic integrated energy storage projects in Zhangbei, and vanadium batteries have entered the bid.

Recently, the first 5-10 kw high-performance all-vanadium liquid energy storage battery prototype manufactured by Shanghai Shenli Technology Co., Ltd. was officially put into operation, and its energy storage efficiency reached the advanced level of 70%.

In addition, many places in China are also targeting the emerging industry of vanadium batteries.

Seven major industrial products in Panzhihua City have been listed in the "Twelfth Five Year Plan for Cultivating and Developing the Strategic Emerging Industries in Sichuan Province." Panzhihua Vanadium and Titanium Steel Research Institute and vanadium and titanium produced by Xingchen vanadium and titanium are listed as regional specialty products.

In Chengde Shuangyu, recently, all-vanadium liquid-flow energy storage batteries and an annual output of 30,000 tons of vanadium pentoxide and other projects were successively put into production or put into production in the double-vanadium vanadium-titanium industrial cluster area. Shuangyu will use vanadium batteries as a breakthrough, strongly promoting the transition from steel strip vanadium to vanadium strip steel.

In Changsha, the city's new material cluster includes supercapacitor materials, all-vanadium flow batteries, and others. Changsha expects that by 2015 strategic new industries will have an expected sales income of about 500 billion yuan.

Energy Storage Batteries Help Grid Cut Peaks and Fill Valleys

The spread of electricity shortages is pushing forward the construction of smart grids, and the application of energy storage technology will be able to develop rapidly. At present, in the demonstration projects in the smart grid, a number of energy storage technologies have been applied, including lead-acid batteries, vanadium batteries, and sodium-sulfur batteries. The development and application of these technologies will help support grid peaking and valley filling.

The vanadium battery, which is one of the energy storage batteries, is called full vanadium redox flow battery. Compared with other energy storage batteries, it has a large capacity, high efficiency, long service life, fast response, instant charge, high safety, Many advantages such as low cost.

Industry experts told reporters that the vanadium battery has more than 100,000 charge and discharge times, and the service life is more than 10 years. The vanadium battery can be charged and discharged many times without limit, and it does not cause attenuation of the energy storage material. The number of charging and discharging of other chemical batteries has a fixed upper limit. The number of sodium-sulfur batteries is 4,500 cycles and the number of lithium batteries is 2,000.

In addition, vanadium batteries can support frequent high-current charge and discharge, can be charged and discharged hundreds of times a day, more environmentally friendly. The sodium-sulfur battery is liable to cause an explosion and the manufacturing cost is relatively high.

The development of energy storage batteries also solves the difficulty of grid-connected wind power. As of March this year, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in China reached 44.5 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world, but what is worrying is the grid connection problem behind high growth. Data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that at present, China's wind power installed capacity has accumulated 31.07 million kilowatts, still 26%? 30% of wind power is not connected to the grid, and the world average is 10%.

The co-founder of Beijing Pu-neng Century Technology Co., Ltd. believes that the development and application of energy storage technology will help break the bottleneck problem of wind power, photovoltaic power generation and other access and consumption, ease pressure on the peak of power grid, and improve power quality. .

According to the relevant plans of the State Grid, the installed energy storage capacity of the wind farm should be more than 20% of the installed capacity of wind power. Therefore, wind energy storage will be the most widely used field for vanadium batteries. In addition, there are promising futures in photovoltaic power generation, traffic and municipality, communication base stations, and UPS power supplies.

The last obstacle to industrialization

Dongxing Securities expects that in the future development of solar energy and wind power, the market capacity of vanadium batteries will be staggering. From a long-term perspective, the output value brought by photovoltaic and wind power generation will be more than seven times the current level by 2020. In particular, the growth of wind power will play a key role. In addition, in the field of electric vehicle and power grid peak shaving, vanadium batteries also have a broad application space. According to preliminary estimates, China's vanadium battery market will reach 1.6 trillion, of which the output value of wind power will be the main part.

Dong Yang Securities analyst Lin Yang told reporters that the current obstacle to the development of vanadium batteries is mainly a pay-as-you-go relationship, that is, whether it is the power generation company or the power grid that pays for the vanadium battery. Once the relevant policies are issued and the purchase relationship is straightened out, vanadium batteries will usher in explosive growth in the next 2-3 years.

Although this obstacle has not yet been resolved, the reporter learned that the current domestic large-scale vanadium mining companies like Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group, Chuanwei Group and other companies are actively seeking for resource transformation, and vanadium batteries have become their new direction of development.

Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group subsidiary Panzhihua Vanadium and Titanium has an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of vanadium products and is the second largest vanadium product company in the world. At this year's Panzhihua Vanadium and Titanium shareholders meeting, Yu Ziyi, general manager, said that in the long run, vanadium batteries will be the main direction for the expansion of vanadium products. It is worth noting that Pangang has stated that it plans to build a 500-ton vanadium battery liquid experimental production line, and together with Wuxi Suntech to build a demonstration base of Chinese solar vanadium batteries.
