An Analysis of the Contributions of Current Density and Voltage Efficiency to the Capital Costs of an All Vanadium Redox-Flow Battery

Abstract:

This paper utilizes new data on voltage efficiency for all-vanadium redox flow batteries to show improved system costs for grid-level applications. As more and more renewable power production is added to the grid the need increases for large scale storage alternatives.

Keywords:

vanadium redox-flow battery, current density, analysis
