Not a single mention of Vanadium in the Grauniad article!!

3MW refers to how much power it can deliver - for example a 60W light bulb will take 60W per second.

12MWH is how many MW it can supply for an hour or how many W / kW / MW for a specified number of hours.

So a 3MW / 12MWH battery will supply 3MW for (12/3) or 4 hours

Sorry if this has been posted before (August 2018)L

Refers to RWE building hybrid generation with storage.
RWE have now frozen the development: https://www.group.rwe/en/innovation-and-knowlegde/innovation-and-technology/project-proposals/tilbury
"*Tilbury Energy Centre Update, November 2018*
RWE has decided to freeze the development of Tilbury Energy Centre."

DRAX gives a mini mention to VRFB here: https://www.drax.com/technology/every-electricity-storage-technology-need-know/

Alfa, the article is from 2017. The Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy Storage and its Applications is based in Sheffield, however:
"The CDT recruited it’s final cohort of students in 2018, and is therefore closed to further applications."
Having looked on the website, there is little on VRFB and lots on Li and Al technologies :-(

We had solar installed just before the tariffs got hammered, I built a solar diverter to put any excess electricity into heating up the hot water tank, in the summer I can switch off the immersion heater for a good 6-8 weeks solid. in the right sort of area, a community owned solar / wind / hydro / VRFB arrangement could probablt supply the electricity needs.

w w w google dot co dot uk "when does the London stock market open?"

Would you like me to come round and type it for you, or will you get your mum to do it when she brings you your cornflakes?

Could be worse, you could be living with a Trump............. now that would make you hanker for going back to living in a cornetto wrapper on the dump at the edge of Stevenage Ghetto......... innit' blood!

Just a thought, but, may BMN spin off Bushveld energy as a separate entity and list that on the JSE?

Go Roscon ............ 100% with you on that.

Sloppy, you are just that, now p1ss off and irritate your mum for a while.

Only allowed one Recommend, but have a million (-1 for Chester :-) ) With you all the way on this!

Ignore my last post as well.......................... Just refer to we a dozy bollocks from now on :-(

I was looking for TR-! as the RNS title!

How come this TR1 did not appear on the LSE RNS notification?

Wassat all about then?

"Bushveld Minerals Limited (AIM: BMN), the AIM listed, integrated vanadium producer, with ownership of high grade vanadium assets, announces that it has received an exercise notice for the exercise of warrants over 3,598,684 ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") with an exercise price of 6.9 pence per Ordinary Share. Accordingly, 3,598,684 new Ordinary Shares will be issued. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Admission to AIM and Total Voting Rights

Application has been made for admission of these 3,598,684 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will take place and that trading will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 16 November 2018."

Nay probs Daisydog, thought that would be the case!

Daisydog, please don't use the "And I do pay toad tax as a car owner." argument........... Road tax is a general tax.

Roads are paid for out of general taxation and council tax, if you pay either of these you have the right to ise the road!

That said, there are bad cyclists and motorists out there, but I do feel that cyclists get the raw deal in terms of provision for them.

And, yes I have put the clocks back, but my body clock has refused to budge :-(

Not sure if this has been chucked into the mix elsewhere:
https://finfeed.com/small-caps/juniors/tando-reports-high-grade-results-spd/

"Tando Resources has received its first assay results from its drilling program at the SPD Vanadium Project in South Africa.

Drillhole VRC001 returned the following results:

7m at 0.84% vanadium and 5.60% titanium dioxide from 3m (upper layer)
35m at 0.66% vanadium and 4.59% titanium dioxide from 47m (lower layer): Including 9m at 1.11% vanadium from 73m and 2m at 1.61% vanadium from 80m

The results are whole-rock or pre-concentrate grades. Historical drilling adjacent to VRC001 returned magnetic concentrate grades above 2.2% vanadium."

@YTSS - Re Tilos

Not vanadium :-(

Seems like they are making them last longer, but, once they have degraded that is them done and they need to be replaced (unlike vanadium which can be easily recycled).

In there favour, they are readily available, naturally occuring molecules, so there could be some traction for them.... if... they can up the voltages.
Another possible benefit would appear to be the use of cheaper more readily available membranes as the battery operates in a weakly alkaline environment!

Bugger, I was about to go and sit out in the sun :-(

Surely it is all about the purity?
The V2O5 will need to be a magnitude (or 2) purer that the metalurgical stuff.
Low levels of stuff like Fe, Cr, Mn etc will all onterfere with the membrane. VOCl3 distillation will remove these allowing you to have the purity levels VRFB's will need to operate over many cycles without degradation.
