Product type
Flow batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that store energy in liquid electrolytes contained in external tanks. They operate by circulating these electrolytes through a cell stack where electrochemical reactions occur, allowing for the storage and release of energy. This design enables flow batteries to be scaled easily by adjusting the size of the tanks, making them suitable for large-scale energy storage applications.
| Chemistry | Vanadium, Zinc-bromine, or Iron-chromium |
| Energy density | 20 to 40 Wh/L |
| Cycle life | Up to 10,000 cycles |
| Operating temperature | 0 to 40 degrees Celsius |
| Capacity range | From a few kWh to several MWh |
When choosing a flow battery, consider the specific energy storage needs such as capacity, discharge duration, and efficiency. It's important to specify the chemistry type, as different chemistries may offer varying performance characteristics. Additionally, inquire about cycle life and operating temperature ranges to ensure compatibility with your application. Always request information on certifications and safety standards relevant to your region.
