Study of Future Energy Storage Vanadium Redox Flow Battery(Vrfb)

Abstract

Interest in the advancement of energy storage methods has risen as energy production trends toward renewable energy sources. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) are one of the emerging energy storage techniques being developed for the purpose of effectively storing renewable energy. The limitations of each component and what has been/is being done to address said limitations. This review briefly discusses the current needs and state of renewable energy production, the fundamental principles behind the VRFB, how it works and the technology restraints. The working principles of each component are highlighted and what design aspects/cues are to be considered when building a VRFB. To address these limitations, the limiting determinants of some components are being investigated alongside previous/current research.Finally, critical research areas are highlighted along with future development recommendations.
