READ MOREImpact. The most striking feature of flow batteries is that for a given power pack with a rated power, the energy capacity can be increased by increasing the volume of the energy-storage tanks to meet the requirements of particular applications without a change in the cell. This system scalability, along with other unique characteristics, makes
READ MOREAdiabatic compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) was chosen as the targeted EES technology investigated, as it satisfies the functional requirements of grid-scale usage. More importantly, A-CAES does not rely on fossil fuels such as natural gas or coal, and thus will not be an additional source of pollutant emissions.
