HBr Flow Batteries Entering Scale Up Phase (Off Grid Energy Independence. Europe 2018)

The presentation gives an update of the scaling process of Elestor's HBr flow battery technology. Since November 2016, a number of small scale field pilots have been operational. Early 2018 Elestor entered the scale up phase with designing the first 50 kW / 250 kWh storage system.

Graduated in Physics (1986), Guido Dalessi started his career in R&D of laser equipment.

In 1996, he joined a high-tech public listed company in the development of systems for optical disc production in the position of Exec VP, and was appointed CEO in 2006. In these years, the company became global market- and technology-leader in its field.

In 2015, Guido Dalessi joined Elestor BV as CEO, and is also one of the investors.

Elestor BV is a fast growing company, active in the development of industrial size storage systems for electricity, Elestor has matured HBr flow battery technology into a robust and highly scalable product, featuring storage costs far beyond what is achieved by existing storage technologies.

The technology does not only shift energy to times when no renewable energy is generated, but also enables trading on electricity markets and optimizes revenues. Furthermore, storage enables lower power grid connection, saving considerable costs. HBFB storage technology enables a combination of these revenue streams ('revenue stacking')
