FLOW BATTERY
Applications
Loadbalancing
Storing energy from renewable sources
Peak shaving, where spikes of demand are met by the
battery.
UPS, where the battery is used if the main power fails to
provide an uninterrupted supply.
Power conversion – because all cells share the same
electrolyte/s.
Electric vehicles – Because flow batteries can be rapidly
"recharged"
Stand-alone power system.
