Table I. Characteristics of Some Flow Battery Systems. the size of the engine and the energy density is determined by the size of the fuel tank. In a flow battery there is inherent safety of storing the active materials separately from the reactive point source.
The energy capacity requirement of a flow battery is addressed by the size of the external storage components. Consequently, a redox flow battery system could approach its theoretical energy density as the system is scaled up to a point where the weight or volume of the battery is small relative to that of the stored fuel and oxidant.
