| Abstract | In order to achieve the goals set up by DECC to drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 it is imperative to generate a large amount of electricity via renewable sources. Being of an intermittent nature, the renewable sources for electricity generation require installation of energy storage devices. Redox flow cells are considered to be a strong candidate to store energy in the range of few kW/kWh up to tens of MW/MWh. An innovative technology, patented and developed by Imperial College London, has demonstrated excellent performance using a redox flow battery based on the reaction of hydrogen (gas) and vanadium (liquid), and the feasibility of combining this innovative chemistry into cells and stacks developed by Arcola Energy will be explored in this project, along with the potential value of the technology for grid scale storage application (by Alstom UK) | |
