Aquion - Redox-Flow Battery
Redox-flow batteries are currently being improved. Learn more about them here. Redox flow battery technology stores energy in recirculating liquid electrolytes. Power storage and release happen through reversible oxidation and fluid reduction. The most common versions of this battery are vanadium redox flow batteries, which are already in use and have a range of applications for large-scale operations.
When Can We Expect It?
These kinds of batteries are in development for a wider range of applications now, and versions other than vanadium redox flow battery technology are also being tested. It’s unlikely that these batteries will be used for smaller commercial purposes very often, but they may be used to form the backbone of growing green energy grids.
One of the big advantages of this kind of battery is that it can help with load-balancing a system. They’re also high capacity and handle cycling well. Because this kind of battery is highly scalable, they’re good for large energy systems and have the potential to help stabilize and maintain large power grids. The value of load-balancing potential in these batteries also helps make green energy sources more sustainable at scale.
