DOE funds work at Case Western Reserve University CLEVELAND, May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are mixing cheap and plentiful iron in benign solutions to create a flow battery - essentially an unwrapped battery that can be scaled up to hold and supply electricity to a home or an entire community. The goal is to produce a cheap and efficient system capable of storing energy from wind turbines and solar panels and supplying energy when wind...
In the future, the growing amounts of solar and wind energy will need to be stored for dark or low-wind periods. One solution is redox flow batteries that can supply current for up to 2000 households. Several Fraunhofer Institutes are working jointly on these fluid batteries of the future. The researchers will present their large battery installation at the Hannover Messe (April 4-8, 2011, Hall 13, Booth C41).Green power is an unstable commodity. Photovoltaic plants rest at night, and wind...
New electrolyte mix increases energy storage by 70 percentThough considered a promising large-scale energy storage device, the vanadium redox battery's use has been limited by its inability to work well in a wide range of temperatures and its high cost. But new research indicates that modifying the battery's electrolyte solution significantly improves its performance. So much so that the upgraded battery could improve the electric grid's reliability and help connect more wind turbines and...

President Barack Obama referred to Ashlawn Energy's VanChargâ„¢ vanadium redox flow battery as "One of the coolest things he has ever said out loud" at Cleveland State. Ashlawn Energy's flow battery seeks to modernize the electric grid and create a new high-tech manufacturing sector in Northeast Ohio. Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) March 3, 2011 President Barack Obama referred to Ashlawn Energy's VanChargâ„¢ vanadium redox flow battery as "One of the coolest things he has...
A new type of redox flow battery presents a huge advantage for electric cars. If the rechargeable batteries are low, the discharged electrolyte fluid can simply be exchanged at the gas station for recharged fluid "“ as easy as refilling the petrol tank.Electric mobility is becoming increasingly important. The German government's ambitious plan envisages one million electric cars being sold in Germany by the year 2020. Until then, however, researchers still have to overcome some hurdles,...
