VFlowTech (VFT) is reinventing vanadium redox-flow energy storage technology. VFT’s energy storage solution is a uniquely designed, long-lasting and reliable product for the utility and renewable energy industry. The battery works through the continuous reduction and oxidation reaction between the vanadium redox couples with no detrimental issues with the cross-mixing of the redox couples. Due to the unique setup, the electrolyte has no degradation, and the battery provides stable performance over 20 years.
VFT is a vibrant fast-paced start-up in a growth industry. We are looking for experienced individuals proud of their technical skills and applying their skills to one of the greatest challenges to mankind in this century: Climate change. Our energy storage solutions are the key to unlocking the potential of renewables. If you have what it takes and look forward to challenges, we welcome you to talk to us.
Roles & Responsibilities
You will be working on the testing of our 5kW/30kWh flow battery systems to ensure that they are manufactured according to standard. All testing will be conducted under the supervisor’s instruction. The testing is split into the following major components:
1) Testing of all relays present in the components of the battery system (Inverters, Pumps, Fans, Valves, BCU - Battery Controller Unit)
2) Testing of inverters in their Off-grid (UPS) and Grid-Tied modes
3) Optimal charging test to obtain charging characteristic of the battery
4) Discharge test – to obtain threshold discharge values of battery system
5) Testing of protection functions
In addition to your work on testing the system, you will also be involved in electrical work such as soldering/wiring as well as electrical design. You will have the following responsibilities:
● Ensure that all necessary parameters of the battery system are tested to standards
● Sourcing and procurement of various electrical components
● Assist in any electrical wiring or modifications
● Keep a detailed record on all test results and to report any anomalies to supervisors
● Assist to chief power engineer in any electrical tasks as and when it is required
Learning Outcomes & Objectives
Our team will support the candidate by providing insight into the functions of the battery system. Training and supervision will also be provided in order for the trainee to fulfil his/her workscope. The following are the learning outcomes of this internship:
• Learn the various types of sensors and components used in flow batteries
• Learn the various protection components (BCU, EMS) and how they protect the battery from overcurrent, overvoltage.
• Learn about the charging and discharging characteristics of flow batteries
• Acquire knowledge regarding the entire flow battery system
