THE PRODUCT

THE PRODUCT

The Skip Tech energy storage solution is primed for an unparalleled level of energy density, end user versatility, scalability and safety, all while maintaining the vision of sustainable battery storage that is a frontrunner on price and performance. Other batteries for long-duration energy storage, like lithium-ion, raise a host of concerns including fire risk, cost, environmental damage from mining and disposal, and well known problems regarding long term performance degradation.

SCALABLE

SCALABLE

The Skip battery can be scaled up or down from 10kWh up to 10,000kWh and beyond. The smallest batteries will fit on a mid-size truck while larger batteries will be built in 20ft, and later, 40ft, storage containers which can be stacked together to meet energy needs up to the level of a utility grid.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE PERFORMANCE

UNINTERRUPTIBLE PERFORMANCE

High Density

The Hydrogen-Bromine reaction has extremely high energy and power densities making our system an attractive, and highly competitive, product within multiple market segments.

Decades of Peak Performance

There will be no performance degradation over time the way there is in lithium-ion batteries. The maximum charge capacity will be maintained over the Skip System’s 20+ year lifespan.

Right-Sized Solutions

Power (the maximum rate at which energy can be added to, or drawn from, the system) and storage capacity (the energy stored in the system, often measured in ‘hours’ of maximum power delivered) are completely independent in the Skip Tech System. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, flow-batteries are fully customizable to a customer’s requirements.

Safe

There is no danger of self-ignition or toxic smoke with our HBr flow-battery. Bromine is non-combustible so fire safety is inherently built into the system.

Expansive Temperature Tolerance

The Skip Tech System has a temperature tolerance of -20°C to 50°C (-25°F to 122°F+). Below -20°C (25°F) some of the system’s power will be needed for active heating. Above 50°C (122°F) the system continues to run but operates at a lower overall efficiency.

Long Duration

The Skip Tech System’s most economically efficient operating time is 8-12+ hours but can be customized to provide energy for longer or shorter intervals.

Reduce Emissions

If fully implemented at utility level, a Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) battery like Skip Tech’s system could cut American greenhouse gas emissions by 10% (based on internal calculations).

No Mining

Bromine is a co-product of desalination. No mining is required.

Domestic Supply Chain

The primary manufacturing materials for the liquid membrane cell (3D-printable PVDF plastic and carbon plates) can be entirely domestically sourced enabling rapid prototyping and in lab testing.

The full liquid battery systems can also be completely manufactured in the US. This unlocks significant governmental support at all levels (city, state, federal).

100% Recyclable

Liquid membrane cell materials (PVDF plastic and carbon plates) and all energy storage chemicals (hydrogen and bromine) are 100% reusable/recyclable. PVDF in particular is a thermoplastic and is easy to melt down and directly reuse.

EASY TO IMPLEMENT

EASY TO IMPLEMENT

Transportable by Train, Truck or Container Ship

The initial Skip stationary-storage product is built into standard 20’ ISO shipping containers. These are easily transported by truck, rail and container ship.

Compact Footprint

Energy storage containers fit within compact footprints on the landscape. They can be tucked into existing infrastructure (e.g., parking lots, substations, etc.).
