Large grid-scaled flow batteries
Based on the increasing demand for storage of renewable energy, the project goal is to develop large grid-scaled energy storage applications and reducing the investments cost by reusing large steel tanks and use them as storage tanks in a flow battery.
A flow-battery consists of two key components - a cell stack where the electrochemical reactions occur, and two storage tanks filled with an electrolyte where the energy is stored.
Because of the electrolyte being an acid, steel tanks cannot be used directly as storage tanks. The aim of the project is therefore to, research useful knowledges regarding flow battery technologies and find best solution on how to reconstruct steel tanks to be able to hold the electrolyte.
The goal of the research is to find best practice on how to design a future grid-scaled flow battery, with an anticipated performance of minimum 15 MW power capacity and 80 MWh storage capacity, by reusing large steel tanks and the energy infrastructure which is established in conjunction with power plants and oil refineries.
