由于公用事业行业和电动车充电站等最终用户的增加,预计液流电池市场在预测期内将蓬勃发展。
液流电池是一种可充电电池,其中电解液从一个或多个槽流过一个或多个电化学电池。在简单的液流电池中,很容易透过增加槽中储存的电解液的数量来增加储能容量。电化学电池可以串联或併联电连接,以确定液流电池系统的性能。这种额定能量和额定功率的解耦是液流电池系统的关键特征。
由于液流电池技术是模组化和可扩展的,因此可以製造适用于从瓦数到兆瓦额定值的各种应用的系统,能量持续时间从几小时到几天不等。电池可以由廉价且容易取得的材料製成,例如热塑性塑胶和碳基材料。电池的许多部件都是可回收的。由于电解液可以回收再利用,因此可以降低运作成本。电池材料具有阻燃性,对环境影响较小。电解质可用作电池热管理策略的一部分,减少电池系统复杂加热或冷却的需要,从而降低成本。电化学电池共享通用电解质,使每个电池保持相同的充电状态,从而简化电池平衡和电池操作。人们可以在单点测量整个系统的充电状态(或使用多个测量点来检查电池系统是否正常运作)。过度充电和过度放电通常不会永久损坏电极或电解质。自放电在待机模式下受到限制,关闭时不会自放电。储能容量与额定值无关,因此液流电池非常适合长期储能。增加储能容量的开销反映了储罐和电解液的成本,因此长寿命电池的总体成本低于其他类型的电池。

Flow Batteries Market is expected to thrive during the forecast period due to the increase in end users, such as the utility industry and EV charging stations.
A flow battery is a rechargeable battery in which the electrolyte flows from one or more tanks through one or more electrochemical cells. In simple flow batteries, it is easy to increase the energy storage capacity by increasing the number of electrolytes stored in the tank. Electrochemical cells can be electrically connected in series or parallel to determine the performance of flow battery systems. This decoupling of rated energy and rated power is a key feature of flow battery systems.
As flow battery technology is modular and scalable, systems can be manufactured for a wide range of applications from wattage to megawatt ratings, with energy durations ranging from hours to days. Batteries can be constructed from inexpensive and readily available materials, such as thermoplastics and carbon-based materials. Many parts of the battery are recyclable. Since the electrolyte can be recovered and reused, running costs can be reduced. Battery materials are flame retardant and have a low environmental impact. Electrolytes can be used as part of a battery's thermal management strategy, reducing the need for complex heating, or cooling of the battery system, thus, reducing costs. Electrochemical cells share a common electrolyte, allowing each cell to maintain the same state of charge, simplifying cell balancing and battery operation. One can measure the state of charge of the entire system at a single point (or use multiple measurement points to check if your battery system is functioning properly). Overcharging and over-discharging generally do not permanently damage electrodes or electrolytes. Self-discharge is limited in standby mode, no self-discharge when switched off. Energy storage capacity is independent of rating, so flow batteries are excellent for long-term energy storage. The overhead of increasing energy storage capacity reflects the cost of tanks and electrolytes, so the overall cost of long-life batteries is lower than other types of batteries.

The growing need for continuous supply in all major countries has increased the need for energy reserves. In the event of power outages or high demand, the flow battery acts as a backup power source. Flow is considered an alternative to Li-ion batteries and fuel cells. One of the features that set flow batteries apart from other alternatives is that they can be scaled up and recharged by simply adding the required amount of electrolyte. The functionality of flow batteries is highly adaptable as the used electrolyte can be recycled to the storage tank. Other advantages of flow batteries are their long service life and low maintenance. The demand for these batteries is growing with the introduction of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, which negatively impacts the flow battery market.
Given the green energy targets set by several developed and developing countries, this trend is expected to continue around the world. Energy suppliers use flow batteries primarily for energy storage. Another advantage of utility-scale grid operation is the scalability of flow batteries. This allows the capacity to be increased by using more electrolytes. Along with another advantage of long service life and lifespan, this acts as a market driver for the global flow battery market. Flow battery installations are increasing worldwide as the use of solar and wind energy increases.
Due to their large and powerful properties, flow batteries are considered suitable for utility, commercial, and industrial customers, seeking long-term and long-term energy storage. These batteries are primarily used in utility applications as a buffer between power supply and power demand from the power grid. Flow batteries can reliably store and discharge electricity, allowing power companies to reduce excess power. In addition, utilities need batteries that are durable, robust, and long-lasting, capable of supporting significant grid-wide penetration of renewable energy. The increasing demand for electricity in rural and urban areas has led to increased interest in grid improvements, which may lead to the introduction of flow batteries in utility applications.
Power outages, power supply interruptions, and machine downtime can all impact commercial and industrial applications, disrupting production lines, delaying shipments, and damaging products, significantly impacting business operations. An unexpected power outage at a particular location can last for a minute, an hour, a day, or even a week. Flow batteries are essential in such cases as they save energy costs in commercial and industrial operations while improving power quality and reliability. In addition, it reduces the chance of performance degradation during power outages and blackouts. Battery storage systems provide affordable, green power and facilitate the deployment of renewable energy systems that generate revenue through the sale of additional energy or grid stabilization services.
Utilities are one of the earliest application areas for flow batteries to address the penetration of renewable energy into the grid. Flow batteries are ideal for long-term discharge at commercial power levels in the MW range. They transfer energy and avoid blackouts during grid service interruptions. The majority of flow battery installation projects that have been performed around the world to date have served the needs of utility companies. Government and business organizations have recently upgraded their power grid infrastructure to meet the growing need for electrification in rural and urban areas. Given the increasing electricity demand, the governments of many countries are also investing heavily in the construction of power grids.
In 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced funding of USD 17.9 million for 4 research and development projects to enhance the manufacturing of flow batteries and long-term storage systems in the country. The funding is expected to provide the materials needed to expand the grid with new and clean energy sources, offer affordable electricity to disadvantaged communities, and achieve a net zero carbon footprint by 2050.
Using this investment, Largo Clean Energy and Partners (Wilmington, MA) were awarded USD 4.19 million to develop and demonstrate a highly efficient manufacturing process for affordable grid-scale flow batteries. TreadStone Technologies, Inc. and Partners (Princeton, NJ) were awarded USD 4.99 million for the development of roll-to-roll technology for manufacturing metal electrodes and bipolar plates, essential components of flow batteries. OTORO Energy Inc. and Partners (Bloomfield, Colorado) were awarded USD 4.14 million to improve the cost, scalability, and performance of existing flow battery technology using a metal chelate flow battery system. Quino Energy, Inc., and Partners (Menlo Park, CA) were awarded USD 4.58 million to develop a scalable, low-cost continuous process to produce and run aqueous organic flow battery reactants.
In 2023, Singapore-based VFlowTech raised USD 10 million in Series A funding to set up a manufacturing facility and expand production of its 250-kWh vanadium flow battery product. The Series A funding round was led by Japanese VC Real Tech Holdings, with participation from existing investors, namely SEEDS Capital, Wavemaker Partners, Sing Fuels, and Michael Gryseels, the Chairman of VFlowTech. New investors include Inci Holding, Pappas Capital, and Carbon Zero Venture Capital.
VFlowTech plans to use this funding to establish a new manufacturing facility to build PowerCubes, a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) solution with an annual capacity of 200 MWh. The company has deployed its 30kWh and his 100kWh units primarily for residential applications and has now completed production of its MWh systems for large-scale microgrid applications. It will also use this capital to expand its market presence in Turkey (home of Inci Holding), the United States, Japan, and India with new partners, invest in R&D to improve technology, increase system capacity, and strengthen its management team.
