These batteries have energy storage applications to complement the intermittant nature of renewable energy power generation.

The RedFlow ZBM delivers up to 5 kW of power and 10 kWh of energy. With electrolyte, the ZBM weighs 220 kg (water-based zinc-bromine electrolyte comprises over 60% of the weight). An industrial lead-acid battery, with comparable daily cycling performance, would weigh over five times as much. The RedFlow ZBM is constructed primarily of plastics and utilises many standard manufacturing processes from the plastics and white goods industries.

Redflow’s ZBM is also being tested and part of the US Department of Energy (DoE) grid-connected energy storage program.

Beyond Zero’s Matthew and Anthony talk to Chris about Redflow and the recent demonstration projects with electricity distributors in NSW and QLD.

The Technique Solar Module (TSM) supplies both heat energy (hot water) and electrical energy (Photovoltaics); and is an Australian-born example of the combined PV-T technology that has been featured on Beyond Zero radio in 2012.

The TSM concept was orininally developed by RMIT researcher, Dennis Thoroughgood, who continues as part of Technique Solar’s technology team today. The TSM achieves solar conversion efficiency between 50% – 60% compared with an efficiency typically ranging between 15% -18% for conventional PV panels.

John Keating is a long time shareholder in Melbourne based Technique Solar and became a director in 2007. He has extensive experience in corporate finance specifically in property development and investment, including some years spent in the venture capital industry both in Australia and the USA.

John talks to Beyond Zero’s Matthew and Anthony about the long road to commercialisation of the technology, the business model to do it, utilising Australian manufacturing know-how, leasing arrangements, commercial roll-outs, lack of government funding and the pilot projects scheduled for installation later this year.

Beyond Zero radio first interviewed Technique Solar in 2010, when Professor Ian Bates explained the development of the technology:
