Who are flow battery subject matter experts?
The Framework Team interviewed 26 flow battery subject matter experts (SMEs) who represented 20 organizations, ranging from industry groups (e.g., ESS, Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation) to vendors (e.g., Primus Power, Largo Inc.) and National Laboratories (e.g., SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory).
Why do flow battery developers need a longer duration system?
Flow battery developers must balance meeting current market needs while trying to develop longer duration systems because most of their income will come from the shorter discharge durations. Currently, adding additional energy capacity just adds to the cost of the system.
How long do flow batteries last?
Valuation of Long-Duration Storage: Flow batteries are ideally suited for longer duration (8+ hours) applications; however, existing wholesale electricity market rules assign minimal incremental value to longer durations.
Who invented the flow battery system?
The principle of the flow battery system was first proposed by L. H. Thaller of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in , focusing on the Fe/Cr system until .
