OverviewAdvantages and DisadvantagesScienceApplicationHistory
The advantage of redox-flow batteries in general is the separate scalability of power and energy, which makes them good candidates for stationary energy storage systems. This is because the power is only dependent on the stack size while the capacity is only dependent on the electrolyte volume. As the electrolyte is based on water, it is non-flammable. All electrolyte components are non-tox
The IRFB can achieve up to 70% round trip energy efficiency. In comparison, other long duration storage technologies such as pumped hydro energy storage provide around 80% round trip
