[PDF Version]Flow batteries differ from other types of rechargeable solar batteries in that their energy-storing components—the electrolytes—are housed externally in tanks, not within the cells themselves. The size of these tanks dictates the battery's capacity to generate electricity: larger tanks mean more energy storage.
Flow batteries can be operated similarly to fuel cells, or they can be recharged with electricity, allowing the liquids to be used repeatedly. They have advantages like the ability to scale energy and power independently and a long lifespan.
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.
Flow batteries have a lower power density but can supply a steady flow of energy for extended periods (up to 10 hours), making them ideal for applications where a long-duration energy supply is needed. The “winner” in the comparison between flow and lithium-ion batteries depends on the specific needs of the application.
