US Department of Energy Commissioning American Vanadium’s CellCube

American Vanadium Corp. (TSXV:AVC,OTCQX:AVCVF) announced that the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory is in the process of commissioning a CellCube vanadium flow energy storage system. Though more than 65 such systems are commercially installed around the world, this one will be North America’s first.

As quoted in the press release:

NREL, located in Colorado, is providing its new, state-of-the-art Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) to independently test the CellCube for renewable integration, microgrid and utility scale applications in North America. NREL will provide an independent report on the technical characteristics of the CellCube energy storage system, which American Vanadium will make available to interested parties.

Bill Radvak, president and CEO of American Vanadium, commented:

We are very excited about independently showcasing our commercially available energy storage systems at such a leading-edge facility as NREL in Colorado. With our ability to provide reliable, long-duration energy storage systems coupled with long-term financial packages, we are now in position to enable our partners to submit the most competitive bids.
