Flow Batteries

Long Term, Large-Scale Energy Storage

In the rapidly advancing energy storage field, flow batteries offer a unique approach to large-scale and long-duration storage solutions essential for renewable integration, grid stabilization, and industrial applications. By circulating electrolytes through a membrane to store and release energy, flow batteries provide robust performance with extended lifespans, modularity, and scalability.

Flow Batteries Technologies

Flow battery technologies come in several variants, each offering distinct advantages for large-scale energy storage.
‍
Organic flow batteries utilize carbon-based molecules instead of metals, creating a sustainable, metal-free option that reduces environmental impact and costs.
‍
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), the most established type, offer exceptional stability and cycle life by using vanadium ions in various oxidation states, making them ideal for grid-scale applications requiring durability and long-duration storage.
‍
Iron flow batteries, on the other hand, leverage the abundance and affordability of iron to provide a cost-effective solution, especially suited for scenarios where low-cost energy storage is prioritized over high energy density.

Typical applications for Flow Batteries are:
