FAQS 4

Are flow batteries worth it?

While this might appear steep at first, over time, flow batteries can deliver value due to their longevity and scalability. Operational expenditures (OPEX), on the other hand, are ongoing costs associated with the use of the battery. This includes maintenance, replacement parts, and energy costs for operation.

How do you calculate a flow battery cost per kWh?

It’s integral to understanding the long-term value of a solution, including flow batteries. Diving into the specifics, the cost per kWh is calculated by taking the total costs of the battery system (equipment, installation, operation, and maintenance) and dividing it by the total amount of electrical energy it can deliver over its lifetime.

How much do commercial flow batteries cost?

Existing commercial flow batteries (all-V, Zn-Br and Zn-Fe (CN) 6 batteries; USD$ > 170 (kW h) −1)) are still far beyond the DoE target (USD$ 100 (kW h) −1), requiring alternative systems and further improvements for effective market penetration.

Are industrial flow batteries competitive?

Their model considers the present and future competitivity of industrial flow batteries in operating specific services, which have not yet been developed to an accurate grade, and yields economic performance indicators such as capital costs, operative costs, levelized cost of storage (LCOS), and net present value.
