How do flow batteries work?
Flow batteries operate distinctively from “solid” batteries (e.g., lead and lithium) in that a flow battery’s energy is stored in the liquid electrolytes that are pumped through the battery system (see image above) while a solid-state battery stores its energy in solid electrodes. There are several components that make up a flow battery system:
What are flow batteries used for?
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.
