Technical FAQs 4

What is a flow battery?

A flow battery is an electrochemical energy storage system that stores energy in liquid electrolyte solutions. Unlike conventional batteries, which store energy in solid electrodes, flow batteries rely on chemical reactions occurring between the liquids stored in external tanks and circulated through the battery’s electrochemical cell.

Are flow batteries scalable?

Scalability: One of the standout features of flow batteries is their inherent scalability. The energy storage capacity of a flow battery can be easily increased by adding larger tanks to store more electrolyte.

Are flow batteries a good choice for large-scale energy storage applications?

The primary innovation in flow batteries is their ability to store large amounts of energy for long periods, making them an ideal candidate for large-scale energy storage applications, especially in the context of renewable energy.

What are the characteristics and benefits of flow batteries?

The major characteristic and benefit flow batteries is the decoupling by design of power and energy. Power is determined by the size and number of cells, energy by the amount of electrolyte. Their low energy density makes flow batteries unsuited for mobile or residential applications, but attractive on industrial and utility scale.
