Their work focuses on the flow battery, an electrochemical cell that looks promising for the job—except for one problem: Current flow batteries rely on vanadium, an energy-storage material that’s expensive and not always readily available. .
A flow battery contains two substances that undergo electrochemical reactions in which electrons are transferred from one to the other. When the. .
A major advantage of this system design is that where the energy is stored (the tanks) is separated from where the electrochemical reactions occur (the so-called reactor, which includes the porous electrodes and membrane). As a result, the capacity of the. .
A critical factor in designing flow batteries is the selected chemistry. The two electrolytes can contain different chemicals, but today the. .
The question then becomes: If not vanadium, then what? Researchers worldwide are trying to answer that question, and many are. [pdf]
It includes the construction of a 100MW/600MWh vanadium flow battery energy storage system, a 200MW/400MWh lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage system, a 220kV step-up substation, and transmission lines. Key technical highlights include: Vanadium Flow Battery System [pdf]
