Renewable Energy Storage: One of the most promising uses of flow batteries is in the storage of energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind. Since these energy sources are intermittent, flow batteries can store excess energy during times of peak generation and discharge it when demand is high, providing a stable energy supply.
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.
Charging and discharging are realized by means of a reversible electrochemical reaction between two liquid electrolyte reservoirs. Flow batteries are often called redox flow batteries, based on the redox (reduction–oxidation) reaction between the two electrolytes in the system. Fig. 9. Flow battery system .
Flow batteries have several advantages over conventional batteries, including storing large amounts of energy, fast charging and discharging times, and long cycle life. The most common types of flow batteries include vanadium redox batteries (VRB), zinc-bromine batteries (ZNBR), and proton exchange membrane (PEM) batteries.
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.
High-capacity flow batteries, which have giant tanks of electrolytes, have capable of storing a large amount of electricity. However, the biggest issue to use flow batteries is the high cost of the materials used in them, such as vanadium. Some recent works show the possibility of the use of flow batteries.
