Other useful properties of vanadium flow batteries are their fast response to changing loads and their overload capacities. They can achieve a response time of under half a millisecond for a 100% load change, and allow overloads of as much as 400% for 10 seconds. Response time is limited mostly by the electrical equipment.
A vanadium / cerium flow battery has also been proposed . VRBs achieve a specific energy of about 20 Wh/kg (72 kJ/kg) of electrolyte. Precipitation inhibitors can increase the density to about 35 Wh/kg (126 kJ/kg), with higher densities possible by controlling the electrolyte temperature.
The battery uses vanadium's ability to exist in a solution in four different oxidation states to make a battery with a single electroactive element instead of two. For several reasons, including their relative bulkiness, vanadium batteries are typically used for grid energy storage, i.e., attached to power plants/electrical grids.
Likewise, the product of the theoretical energy storage density and published energy efficiency values (ηEE) are a means to predict the real energy storage density (ev,real) achieved with this flow battery after accounting for voltage and faradaic losses. Table I presents values used to assess the Fe-Cr energy storage density.
Strikingly, the battery is capable of delivering a high limiting current density of ~7 A cm −2, and a high peak power density of 2.78 W cm −2, representing the highest peak power density for flow batteries in the open literature, which is even higher than that of commercialized fuel cells.
where Qγ is the product of the activity coefficient terms from Eq. 10. The theoretical volumetric energy storage density, (ev,ideal) of a redox flow battery can be found by evaluating the integral of Eq. 2 between the cell's initial and final state of charge, multiplied by the charge storage capacity of the electrolyte solutions (qtotal):
