1.8 MWh Battery System Successfully Energised in Orkney Isles

Receives visit from Michael Matheson MSP, Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Net
Zero, Energy and Transport

 

Invinity Energy Systems plc (AIM: IES) (AQSE: IES) (OTCQX: IESVF), a leading
global manufacturer of utility-grade energy storage, is pleased to announce
that it has successfully delivered, installed and energised a 1.8 MWh VS3 flow
battery system at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) hydrogen R&D
facility on the island of Eday in the Orkney Islands, UK.

 

Comprising 48 Invinity VS3 battery modules, with a combined capacity
equivalent to the daily energy consumption of over 210 UK households, this
innovative project will see Invinity's flow batteries integrated with tidal
generation to optimise green hydrogen production at EMEC's hydrogen production
plant. Tidal generation is predictable yet variable, with two high and two low
tides occurring each day. Once the integrated system has been fully
commissioned, the battery will 'smooth' the power from the tidal generation by
storing during high power periods and releasing during low power periods to
ensure EMEC's 670 kW hydrogen electrolyser has a stable, renewable power
supply, allowing the continuous production of green hydrogen.

 

Manufactured at Invinity's facility in Bathgate, West Lothian, the energy
storage system was delivered in stages via road and ferry to the island
located off the north coast of Scotland. The project is currently in its final
commissioning phase with integration of the tidal turbine and electrolyser
expected to complete shortly. Full demonstration of the integrated system is
due to take place this autumn.

 

Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero, Michael Matheson MSP, visited the
battery site yesterday as part of a wider tour of the EMEC facility. Earlier
this year, Mr. Matheson also visited Invinity's Bathgate facility where he was
given a guided tour and inspected the batteries that are now installed at
EMEC.

 

Neil Kermode, Managing Director at EMEC said:

 

"We're delighted to have Invinity's innovative battery technology installed on
our site on Eday. It will integrate power generated by our clients' tidal
turbines and help optimise hydrogen production. Energy storage solutions like
vanadium flow batteries are crucial to creating resilient, clean energy
systems of the future and we look forward to seeing the integrated system
fully demonstrated later this year.

 

Many thanks to both Invinity and EMEC teams for their hard work in getting the
project to this stage. Undertaking this on a remote Scottish Island is one
thing, but doing it safely during a pandemic is another level entirely."

 

Larry Zulch, Chief Executive Officer at Invinity said:

 

"This first of a kind project at EMEC illustrates the important role that
Invinity's vanadium flow batteries can play in the net zero energy system of
the future. Now that our batteries are installed and energised, we look
forward to fully demonstrating their capabilities once the integrated green
hydrogen project goes live later this year. We are grateful to be working with
the forward-looking team at EMEC as they work toward a net-zero future."

Notes to Editors

 

Invinity Energy Systems plc (AIM:IES) manufactures vanadium flow batteries
for large-scale, high-throughput energy storage requirements of business,
industry and electrical networks.

 

Invinity's factory-built flow batteries run continually with no degradation
for over 25 years, making them suitable for the most demanding applications in
renewable energy production. Energy storage systems based on Invinity's
batteries are safe, reliable, and economical, and range in size from less than
250 kilowatt-hours to tens of megawatt-hours.

 

Invinity was created in April 2020 through the merger of two flow battery
industry leaders: redT energy plc and Avalon Battery Corporation. With over
33 MWh of systems deployed to date across more than 50 sites in 15 countries,
Invinity is active in all major global energy storage markets and has
operations in the UK, Canada, USA, China and Australia. Invinity Energy
Systems plc is listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange and on
the Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE). The Company also trades in the USA on OTCQX
Best Market under the symbol "IESVF".
