Therefore, PV technology is regarded in Malaysia as the major source of RE generation to sustain an increasing energy demand in years to come. While PV is heavily affected by climate and weather changes, this causes an inconsistency in energy generation .
On a tropical climate, an estimated solar irradiance of 4000–5000 W/m2 were recorded annually in Malaysia . Hence, a single PV could generate electricity for 4 to 8 h on average in a day. As mini hydro and biomass require larger deployment costs and space in a larger-scale generation, this hinders the progression of both RES for now.

Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has attracted much attention because it can effectively solve the intermittent problem of renewable energy power generation. However, the low energy density of VRFBs lead.
The vanadium flow battery (VFB) can make a significant contribution to energy system transformation, as this type of battery is very well suited for stationary energy storage on an industrial scale (Arenas et al., 2017 ). The concept of the VFB allows conver electrical energy into chemical energy at high efficiencies.
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) hold great promise as a scalable and efficient energy storage solutions for renewable energy systems as compared to its several counterparts.
Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has attracted much attention because it can effectively solve the intermittent problem of renewable energy power generation. However, the low energy density of VRFBs leads to high cost, which will severely restrict the development in the field of energy storage.
However, as the grid becomes increasingly dominated by renewables, more and more flow batteries will be needed to provide long-duration storage. Demand for vanadium will grow, and that will be a problem. “Vanadium is found around the world but in dilute amounts, and extracting it is difficult,” says Rodby.
That arrangement addresses the two major challenges with flow batteries. First, vanadium doesn't degrade. “If you put 100 grams of vanadium into your battery and you come back in 100 years, you should be able to recover 100 grams of that vanadium—as long as the battery doesn't have some sort of a physical leak,” says Brushett.
Now, MIT researchers have demonstrated a modeling framework that can help. Their work focuses on the flow battery, an electrochemical cell that looks promising for the job—except for one problem: Current flow batteries rely on vanadium, an energy-storage material that's expensive and not always readily available.
The 20-MW facility installed and operated by the New York Power Authority connects into the state's electric grid, and is meant to relieve transmission congestion and pave the way for the utility industry and the private sector to better understand how to integrate more clean energy into the power system, especially during times of peak demand.
Adding bulk energy storage to New York's grid will lower costs, optimize the generation and transmission of power, enhance energy grid infrastructure, and ensure the reliability and resilience of the State's electricity system.
“Today's action is another example of New York's ongoing commitment to strengthening our grid, ensuring the state continues to have a more affordable and reliable electricity system now and well into the future,” Governor Hochul said.
New York will deploy 6 GW of energy storage by 2030 under a framework approved Thursday by the New York Public Service Commission, the office of Gov. Kathy Hochul, D, said in a press announcement.
New York Secretary of State Walter Mosley said, “In looking ahead for the state's future, bulk energy storage can provide the ability to store excess electricity during times of lower usage or high renewable production and return that electricity to the grid during peak times when it's needed most.
New York needs 12 GW of short-duration storage by 2040 and 17 GW by 2050 to “decarbonize the grid in a cost-effective and reliable way,” the road map said. Additionally, the road map noted New York will need more than 4 GW of 8-hour storage by 2035 and 6.8 GW by 2050.
New York has awarded about $200 million to support about 396 MW of operational energy storage assets and has more than 581 MW of additional storage “under contract with the State and moving towards commercial operation” as of April 1, the governor's office announcement said.
