Technical FAQs 4

What is a flow battery?

Flow batteries supplement resources such as pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) by giving grid operators dependable energy storage to balance supply and demand over several hours or days, taking strain away from already overloaded transmission lines/avoiding the high cost of rapidly upgrading these systems.

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.

What is a true flow battery?

True flow batteries have all the reactants and products of the electro-active chemicals stored external to the power conversion device. Systems in which all the electro-active materials are dissolved in a liquid electrolyte are called redox (for reduction/oxidation) flow batteries.

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.
