A flow battery is an electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through ion exchange across an ion-selective membrane. It separates two liquid electrolytes stored in separate tanks. Typical flow battery chemistries include all vanadium, iron-chromium, zinc-bromine, zinc-cerium, and zinc-ion.
Flow batteries, with their ability to create a more stable grid and reduce grid congestion, are considered a promising technology for energy storage. Their adoption is closely linked with the surging energy storage market and can help fill renewable energy production shortfalls.
Current commercial flow batteries are based on vanadium- and zinc-based flow battery chemistries. Typical flow battery chemistries include all vanadium, iron-chromium, zinc-bromine, zinc-cerium, and zinc-ion.
The flow battery market is expected to grow significantly as the share of renewables increases in the primary energy mix. Despite their higher CapEx cost compared to lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries are expected to be used extensively for both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter applications in the next several years.
