To address the inherent volatility of renewable energy, the development of reliable electricity energy storage systems is essential . Cost-effective aqueous redox flow batteries (ARFBs) have emerged as a promising option for long-term grid-scale energy storage, enabling stable energy storage and release.
Thus, the cost-effective aqueous iron-based flow batteries hold the greatest potential for large-scale energy storage application.
It also plays an important role in regulating energy supply and frequency, making it a key component of China’s sustainable energy future. Rongke Power, a pioneer in flow battery technology, previously developed the 100 MW/400 MWh Dalian system in 2022, the largest of its kind at the time.
The energy storage units (electrolyte tanks) and the reactors (electrochemical cell stacks) are separated, where energy (governed by the volume and concentration of electrolytes) and power (determined by the cell stacks) are decoupled. The flow battery thus has high scalability and design flexibility for GSES applications 43.
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) store energy in flowable electrolytes containing energy-bearing redox-active materials 84 (Fig. 4c).
