The fundamental difference between conventional and flow batteries is that energy is stored in the electrode material in conventional batteries, while in flow batteries it is stored in the electrolyte.
The primary innovation in flow batteries is their ability to store large amounts of energy for long periods, making them an ideal candidate for large-scale energy storage applications, especially in the context of renewable energy.
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.
Renewable Energy Source Integration: Flow batteries help the grid during periods of low generation, making it easier to integrate intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar. For example, flow batteries are used at the Sempra Energy and SDG&E plant to store excess solar energy, which is then released during times of high demand.
