19th, 2013 | by James Ayre   Energy Storage Breakthrough: Large
And Powerful Redox Flow Battery Developed  A breakthrough has
been made in the field of renewable energy battery storage.
Researchers have developed a redox flow battery that reaches a
stack power of up to 25 kW. This breakthrough in battery
technology is important because it will allow the energy from
intermittent sources of power, such as most renewables, to be
more efficiently stored for later use. The new redox batteries
are eight times larger than the systems currently in use, which
are only capable of generating 2.3 kW of electricity, so it’s a
significant increase in capability.  redox flow battery

stated goal of being powered 100% by renewable energy by 2050,
big improvements in energy storage would be very helpful,
offering a means to balance out periodic fluctuations in the
energy supplied by wind and solar. With th
