Contact UsThe analysis has shown that the largest battery energy storage systems use sodium–sulfur batteries, whereas the flow batteries and especially the vanadium redox flow batteries are used for smaller battery energy storage systems.
A sodium–sulfur battery is a type of molten metal battery constructed from sodium and sulfur, as illustrated in Fig. 5. This type of battery has a high energy density, high efficiency of charge/discharge (75–86%), long cycle life, and is fabricated from inexpensive materials .
Flow batteries A flow battery is a form of rechargeable battery in which electrolyte containing one or more dissolved electro-active species flows through an electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy directly to electricity.
Sulfur-based flow batteries are currently in the laboratory stage and are still far from application. Zinc-bromine flow battery has almost been eliminated from the market due to its lower efficiency (lower than vanadium flow) and the disadvantage of technical parameters.
In the field of battery recycling, the electrolyte of all-vanadium liquid flow can achieve better recycling, which is better than other technical routes, such as lithium batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries and lead-carbon batteries.
In terms of energy density, since the flow battery is limited by the composition of the electrolyte, the energy density is relatively low. For a large-scale energy storage project with a 100 MW/400 MWh flow battery, using the same site, if it is replaced by a lithium battery, it can reach 800-1,000 MWh.
