Technical FAQs 4

What is a flow battery?

Flow batteries are a type of electrochemical ES, which consists of two chemical components dissolved in liquid separated by a membrane. Charging and discharging of batteries occur by ion transferring from one component to another component through the membrane. The biggest advantages of flow batteries are the capability of pack in large volumes.

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.

How does a flow battery differ from a conventional battery?

In contrast with conventional batteries, flow batteries store energy in the electrolyte solutions. Therefore, the power and energy ratings are independent, the storage capacity being determined by the quantity of electrolyte used and the power rating determined by the active area of the cell stack.

Are flow batteries more scalable than lithium-ion batteries?

Scalability: Flow batteries are more easily scalable than lithium-ion batteries. The energy storage capacity of a flow battery can be increased simply by adding larger tanks to store more electrolyte, while scaling lithium-ion batteries requires more complex and expensive infrastructure.
