Applications of FLOW BATTERY:


Load balancing - where the battery is connected to an electrical grid to store excess electrical power.

UPS, where the battery is used if the main power fails to provide an uninterrupted supply.

Electric vehicles - Because flow batteries can be rapidly "recharged" by replacing the electrolyte.

Stand-alone power system - An example of this is the telecom industry for use in cellphone base stations where there is no grid power available.
