When charging a flow battery

4 FAQs about [When charging a flow battery]

What is the flow of charges when a battery is charging?

Figure 9 3 3 illustrates the flow of charges when the battery is charging. During charging, energy is converted from electrical energy due to the external voltage source back to chemical energy stored in the chemical bonds holding together the electrodes. Again, the flow of both electrons and ions, not just electrons, must be considered.

How do flow batteries work?

The flow batteries store electricity in the tanks of liquid electrolyte that is pumped through electrodes to extract the electrons. During the charging period, PV panels, wind turbines, or grid input is used for providing electrons to recharge the electrolyte. The electrolyte is stored in the tank during the storing period.

How does a flow battery differ from a conventional battery?

In contrast with conventional batteries, flow batteries store energy in the electrolyte solutions. Therefore, the power and energy ratings are independent, the storage capacity being determined by the quantity of electrolyte used and the power rating determined by the active area of the cell stack.

Are flow batteries scalable?

Scalability: One of the standout features of flow batteries is their inherent scalability. The energy storage capacity of a flow battery can be easily increased by adding larger tanks to store more electrolyte.
