Conferences > 2024 AEIT International Annua... Flow batteries, with their low environmental impact, inherent scalability and extended cycle life, are a key technology toward long duration energy storage, but their success hinges on new sustainable chemistries.
Environmental impact assessment of flow battery production was conducted. Three types of flow batteries with different design parameters were analyzed. Design factors and materials choices largely affect the environmental impact. Choices fr cell stack, electrolyte and membrane materials influence total impact.
Among the various types of battery storage systems, flow batteries represent a promising technology for stationary energy storage due to scalability and flexibility, separation of power and energy, and long durability and considerable safety in battery management ( Alotto et al., 2014; Leung et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2013 ).
Flow battery energy systems are less mature than other technologies such as lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, so the materials used, associated manufacturing processes, and performance of flow batteries is continually evolving and can change significantly in a short amount of time.
A preliminary cost prediction, together with a detailed description of the strength of flow batteries, show how flow batteries can play a pivotal role alongside other technologies like lithium-ion and hydrogen storage in achieving a resilient and low-carbon energy society. Conferences > 2024 AEIT International Annua...
Among the three flow battery chemistries, production of the vanadium-redox flow battery exhibited the highest impacts on six of the eight environmental indicators, various potential human health hazards, and per-energy-capacity material costs of $491/kilowatt-hour (kWh) across its life cycle.
