Existing commercial flow batteries (all-V, Zn-Br and Zn-Fe (CN) 6 batteries; USD$ > 170 (kW h) −1)) are still far beyond the DoE target (USD$ 100 (kW h) −1), requiring alternative systems and further improvements for effective market penetration.
Researchers from MIT have demonstrated a techno-economic framework to compare the levelized cost of storage in redox flow batteries with chemistries cheaper and more abundant than incumbent vanadium.
Standardization of flow battery components and the development of high-voltage chemistries are highlighted as paths towards decreasing costs and achieving greater market penetration. Electrolyte tank costs are often assumed insignificant in flow battery research.
Electrode materials includes bipolar plates, end-plates and graphite felts. The total costs of flow battery (C RFB) are expressed in terms of $ (kW h) −1 through dividing the costs of all these components (Cstack, Celectrolytes, CBOP and CPCS) by the required energies of the applications (Etotal = P × tdischarge, where P = Vdischarge × tdischarge).
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
