The German-Australian Alliance for Electrochemical Technologies for Storage of Renewable Energy
Maria gave in interesting interview for the ATSE. If you want to know more about what is behind the discovery and early development of the Vanadium Redox Flow Battery read here: https://www.atse.org.au/news-and-events/article/the-accidental-engineer-who-created-the-vanadium-sustainable-battery/
The International Bureau is a part of the German project management agency DLR-PT and responsible for CENELEST. Via DLR-PT CENELEST is recieving funding from the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) to establish this international collaboration between Germany and Australia for the years 2017-2022. All those involved in establishing the joint research presence thank the help of the International Bureau, DLR-PT and BMBF and are looking forward to further fruitful cooperation and excellent results through CENELEST.
As energy storage becomes an increasingly integral part of a renewables-based electricity system, new technologies are coming to the fore. Jens Noack, Nataliya Roznyatovskaya, Chris Menictas and Maria Skyllas-Kazacos from CENELEST, a joint research venture between the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology and the University of New South Wales, chart the rise of redox flow batteries, a promising alternative to lithium-ion-based systems.
