Flow battery have a wide range of energy storage capacity, ranging from a minimum of several tens of kilowatts to a maximum of nearly 100 megawatts. At present, China’s largest flow battery demonstration project has achieved 100 MW/400 MWh. At present, there are three technical routes for flow batteries to be better:
Flow batteries comprise two components: Electrochemical cell Conversion between chemical and electrical energy External electrolyte storage tanks Energy storage Source: EPRI K. Webb ESE 471 5 Flow Battery Electrochemical Cell Electrochemical cell Two half-cellsseparated by a proton-exchange membrane(PEM)
In terms of energy density, since the flow battery is limited by the composition of the electrolyte, the energy density is relatively low. For a large-scale energy storage project with a 100 MW/400 MWh flow battery, using the same site, if it is replaced by a lithium battery, it can reach 800-1,000 MWh.
