From 1993 to present (Figure 2.4), the VRFB has been commercialized for various applications, such as load-leveling, power quality control and renewable coupling. More than 20 large-scale plants have been installed globally by manufacturers58. The considerable progress of the VRFB has been assisted by improvements in electrode59–65 and membrane materials66–73. Bromine-polysulphide RFB systems were developed by Regenesys Technologies (UK) at Innogy plc between 1991 and 200474–76 A 1 MW pilot plant at Abershaw power state in South Walles was demonstrated and successfully tested. The construction of 15 MW/120 MWh demonstration plants started at Little Barford in the early 2000s75,76. The bromine-polysulphide technology has been one of the largest scaled-up RFB systems, driven by the moderate cost of non-catalyzed electrodes and especially the low-cost of the electrolyte components which are available from multiple sources on a tonnage scale. Full production-scale modular cell stacks were proven on a pilot plant but commercial scale was ceased due to changes of the holding company policy. Regenesys technology was acquired by VRB Power Systems Inc. in 2004 and was subsequently acquired by Prudent Energy (China) in 2009. Several membrane-free flow batteries, such as soluble lead-acid77–79, zinc-nickel80– 82 and zinc-cerium types83,84 have been developed since 2004. These batteries utilize a single electrolyte and therefore do not require an ion-exchange membrane taking as an advantage the lower cost and greater simplicity over other flow battery systems78. Among these undivided systems, some were reported to have excellent round-trip DC energy efficiency >80% and a cycle life above 1000 cycles80. More recently, two types of lithium flow batteries storing energy so-called “flowable” electrode materials85 and an aqueous positive electrolyte86,87 have been introduced, reporting a discharge cell voltage of 3.8 V and energy density per electrolyte volume of 397 Wh/L, which are attractive for electric vehicle applications. 22PDF Image | Redox Flow Batteries Vanadium to Earth Quinones
