A flow battery is an electrochemical battery which is used to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. It consists of two components dissolved in a fluid. These components and the fluid in a system that is separated by a membrane. This membrane assists in ion-exchange however, both fluids circulate in their respective space. A flow battery has an advantage over normal batteries such as near-unlimited longevity and separable liquid tank.
Benefits of Using Flow Battery
Vanadium is one of the most popular elements for using inflow battery as an electrolyte it can recharge and discharge for thousands of cycles. Moreover, in the battery when a solar supply electron the electron is stored back into the tank, here the electrolyte is recharged. Increasing interest in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) for large scale-energy storage systems is also driving the flow battery market growth. These batteries contain vanadium which is a rare and highly expensive element. However, researchers have overcome these drawbacks with a cheap, long-lasting and safe flow battery, that can work as a backup for wind and solar power at the time of shortage on large scale.
Additionally, flow battery industry is expected to show significant growth owing to limited capacity of lithium-ion batteries. Li-ion batteries are used in laptops and mobiles they are already being used as a backup in offices, parks, hospitals and so on. However, they are not designed to supply a large amount of energy to provide backups for towns and cities. This is where flow batteries are most required due to their high capacity storage and a large amount of output.
Current Trends in the Global Flow Battery Market
Rongke Power, in Dalian, China, A Chinese manufacturer is building the world's largest Flow battery using vanadium, the project will be completed till 2020, the battery is assumed to store at least 700 megawatt-hours of power. The market for vanadium-based flow battery is growing with a significant rate and will continuously grow in the future.
