Technical FAQs 4

What is a flow battery?

Flow batteries have a storied history that dates back to the 1970s when researchers began experimenting with liquid-based energy storage solutions. The development of the Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) by Australian scientists marked a significant milestone, laying the foundation for much of the current technology in use today.

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.

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 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.
