4 FAQs about The latest layout standards for flow batteries

Why do flow battery developers need a longer duration system?

Flow battery developers must balance meeting current market needs while trying to develop longer duration systems because most of their income will come from the shorter discharge durations. Currently, adding additional energy capacity just adds to the cost of the system.

What is a Technology Strategy assessment on flow batteries?

This technology strategy assessment on flow batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.

What is flow field design for redox flow battery (RFB)?

Prospects of flow field design for RFB have been exhibited. Flow field is an important component for redox flow battery (RFB), which plays a great role in electrolyte flow and species distribution in porous electrode to enhance the mass transport. Besides, flow field structure also has a great influence in pressure drop of the battery.

Are equal path length flow field and aspect ratio suitable for large-scale battery?

It is found that the pressure drop of Aspect ratio (∼2.86) is ∼7.44 times of that of SSFF, which indicates that Equal path length flow field and Aspect ratio (∼2.86) are not suitable for large-scale battery.
