1. High capacity and long lifespan: Flow batteries have high capacity and long cycle life. Its design allows the positive and negative electrolytes to be separated and circulated separately, which enables flow batteries to store a large amount of energy, and their cycle life is usually long, reaching 10 to 20 years.
2. Wide range of applications and environmental adaptability: It can be used in different environments and conditions, from grid energy storage to distributed energy systems, and even large-scale renewable energy storage.
3. High safety and environmental friendliness: Flow batteries typically operate at room temperature and use aqueous electrolytes, which reduce the risk of combustion and explosion and improve safety. In addition, the main materials of flow batteries can be recycled, environmentally friendly, and meet the requirements of sustainable development.
4. Independently designed power and capacity: Unlike typical batteries, the power and capacity of flow batteries can be independently designed. This feature makes flow batteries particularly suitable for large-scale energy storage applications, and the battery configuration can be adjusted according to specific needs.
5. Efficient energy conversion: Flow batteries have high energy efficiency, usually above 80%. Its charging and discharging performance is good, and it can be deeply discharged without damaging the battery, which further improves its overall efficiency and practicality.
