One of the world’s most respected newspapers feature explores how flow batteries work and explain why the world needs them.
Utilities build flow batteries big enough to oust coal and gas fired power plants, The Washington Post writes in a report that makes it clear that an energy system that is based on renewables such as solar and wind, must also have large-scale, long-term energy storage solutions.
Flow batteries are ideal for the purpose. “This is what the power plants of the future may look like: Instead of stashing coal and gas next to boilers or combustion turbines, they’ll use electrons to store energy inside of giant batteries,” the journalists write.
