Redox Flow Battery
A Redox Flow Battery is a type of rechargeable battery that stores energy in liquid electrolytes. These electrolytes contain dissolved metals, which undergo oxidation and reduction reactions to generate electricity. The battery consists of two separate tanks for the electrolytes, allowing for easy scaling of energy storage capacity by simply increasing the size of the tanks.
This technology is particularly useful for large-scale energy storage applications, such as integrating renewable energy sources like solar power and wind energy into the grid. Redox flow batteries can provide long-duration energy storage, making them suitable for balancing supply and demand in energy systems.
