Prudent Energy Installs More Than 20 Energy Storage Systems Around the World

WASHINGTON DC, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Prudent Energy, the leading technology developer, manufacturer, and systems integrator of the vanadium redox flow battery (VRB-ESS™) announced that as of November 2010 the company has continued to see increased demand and repeat orders for its kW-Class systems across the world. The geographical locations include: Kenya, Hungary, Turkey, Italy, USA and China.

These systems are installed for a broad range of applications. 16 systems were installed in remote cellular telecommunication sites in Kenya with Safaricom Limited the area's leading mobile phone operator that is jointly owned by Telcom Kenya and Vodafone Group. These systems are in addition to the 2 systems that were installed by VRB Power Systems prior to its acquisition by Prudent Energy. These initial 2 systems have been operated by Safaricom for more than 3 years and have yielded superb results, cutting diesel usage by over 65%.  

Multiple systems have been installed in the US and China for renewable resources energy generation projects. The systems were installed in these projects to provide services to grid including smoothing power output of solar panels and wind turbines, load balancing and other similar services. Prudent Energy's VRB™ systems were chosen for these projects because they have features that are great for grid operations: independent sizing of power and energy capacity, a long operating life, high efficiency and fast charging response.

Tim Hennessy, Prudent Energy's President stated that: "Our VRB Energy Storage Systems (VRB-ESS) are unique in their ability to repeatedly deep cycle and rapidly recharge with little or no capacity change. Units have been independently tested in China and the USA and the field results over the last three years have shown a performance way in excess of any other technology currently in the field. Given the fact that our electrolyte never wears out the total cost of ownership is undoubtedly the lowest for any energy storage system."
