Technical FAQs 4

Are flow batteries better than traditional energy storage systems?

Flow batteries offer several advantages over traditional energy storage systems. One key advantage is that the energy capacity of a flow battery can be increased by enlarging the electrolyte tanks, making it ideal for large-scale applications such as grid storage.

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.

What is a flow battery?

A flow battery is an electrochemical battery, which uses liquid electrolytes stored in two tanks as its active energy storage component.

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.
