Technical FAQs 4

What determines the energy storage capacity of a flow battery?

Volume of electrolyte in external tanks determines energy storage capacity Flow batteries can be tailored for an particular application Very fast response times- < 1 msec Time to switch between full-power charge and full-power discharge Typically limited by controls and power electronics Potentially very long discharge times

What are the characteristics of a flow battery?

Flow Battery Characteristics Relatively low specific power and specific energy Best suited for fixed (non-mobile) utility-scale applications Energystorage capacity and powerrating are decoupled Cell stack properties and geometry determine power Volume of electrolyte in external tanks determines energy storage capacity

What is the volume specific capacity of flow batteries?

It can be seen that the volume specific capacity of traditional flow batteries using only liquid redox active substances is generally low, only no more than 25 Ah L −1, while in this work, a high volume specific capacity of 60 Ah L −1 can be reached.

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.
