XL Batteries Secures $7.5M to Scale Organic Flow Storage
XL Batteries raised $7.5 million from Merrin Investors to scale its organic flow battery technology, enhancing grid resilience and energy independence. The capital-light company offers
This technology strategy assessment on flow batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
The capital cost of flow battery includes the cost components of cell stacks (electrodes, membranes, gaskets and bolts), electrolytes (active materials, salts, solvents, bromine sequestration agents), balance of plant (BOP) (tanks, pumps, heat exchangers, condensers and rebalance cells) and power conversion system (PCS).
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) or flow batteries (FBs)—the two names are interchangeable in most cases—are an innovative technology that offers a bidirectional energy storage system by using redox active energy carriers dissolved in liquid electrolytes.
Since other batteries have a fixed energy to power (E / P) ratio, the architecture of flow batteries enables energy and power to be decoupled, which can be adjusted with the amount of the electrolytes and the sizes of the total electrode areas, hence the power rating is based on the stack size or number.
