Thank you for the interesting article. I was aware of the installation but didn't have any details. I understand that a major wind power system or systems will be installed in Denmark and I assume they will use energy storage in the same way and I hope that VRB Power provide it.

VRB Power is one of Bob Bishop's favorite stocks and he has opined that the telecom application is going to be the most important. As I think I have stated on this thread, I agree. I have sent them a lot of info on the telecom applications. I hope they are considered for the applications associated with the SBC deployment of fiber. As I understand their plan, they will terminate the fiber short of the curb and serve customers over special metallic pairs from these locations. There will be electronics at the fiber termination that must be powered and back up power will be required to maintain service during commercial power outages. I understand their plans calls for the power to be provided over existing metallic pairs from a location common to several fiber termination equipment units.

The Redox technology would permit them to extended the back up power life indefinitely without bring motor generators (MGs) to each location by simply replacing the discharged electrolyte from a central location. It is my understanding that normal proctise is to provide for outages of 4 hours with batteries but MGs are used where service must be maintained through extended outages. A Redox-based system with provision for electrolyte replacement could save the telcos a lot and avoid the problem in residential areas caused by the noise of MGs. It is also economical for relatively low power applications.

The SBC fiber application is important because we are talking about new installations. It is much easier to introduce new technology in new installations. I have yet to read anything about taking advantage of the electrolyte replacement approach but I'm sure it will become an important feature of VRB Power back power system on telecom applications.
