Flow batteries are among the next-generation storage systems that can sock away wind and solar energy for 8-10 hours or more, enabling grid managers to handle an increasing amount of renewable energy while improving resiliency and reliability. Advancements in membrane technology, particularly the development of sulfonated. . From iron-air batteries to molten salt storage, a new wave of energy storage innovation is unlocking long-duration, low-cost resilience for tomorrow's grid. —Sometimes, in order to go big, you first have to go small. 5 times denser than water, enables the construction of. . Associate Professor Fikile Brushett (left) and Kara Rodby PhD '22 have demonstrated a modeling framework that can help guide the development of flow batteries for large-scale, long-duration electricity storage on a future grid dominated by intermittent solar and wind power generators.
