Executive Summary
Summary:
A flow battery is a rechargeable battery wherein the liquid electrolytes are stored separately and then flow into the central cell, which reacts in the charging and discharging phase. These batteries are typically used for storing renewable energy, notably solar and wind energy. Flow batteries provide many advantages, such as a longer life cycle, lower maintenance, lower life-cycle cost, reliability, ecofriendliness, no standby loss, flexible design and easy operation. Flow batteries can be used for applications such as long-term energy shifting, peak shaving, stack services, energy shifting, eliminating renewable curtailment, critical load protections and ancillary services. Flow batteries have already
transformed the energy storage landscape, and research is underway to further improve the performance of flow batteries, including vanadium flow batteries (VFBs).
The growing demand for accessible energy storage systems has accelerated the adoption of flow batteries. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global investment in battery energy storage increased by more than $35 billion in 2023, primarily in grid-scale deployment. According to the Energy Storage Report 2024, G7 countries have set a target of 1,500 GW of new global energy storage by 2030, a six-fold increase from current levels.
Furthermore, the demand for integrating renewable energy sources backed by grid modernization initiatives are leading to more installations of long duration energy storage systems. The increasing focus on grid modernization, EV charging stations, and initiatives for developing efficient and sustainable batteries are the key drivers of the market's growth.
