Abstract. Flow batteries have received increasing attention because of their ability to accelerate the utilization of renewable energy by resolving issues of discontinuity, instability and uncontrollability. Currently, widely studied flow batteries include traditional vanadium and zinc-based flow batteries as well as novel flow battery systems.
The low energy conversion efficiency of the vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) system poses a challenge to its practical applications in grid systems. The low efficiency is mainly due to the considerable overpotentials and parasitic losses in the VRB cells when supplying highly dynamic charging and discharging power for grid regulation.
Depending on the application, various energy storage technologies can be deployed, e.g., flywheels for short-term applications and hydrogen for seasonal variability applications. Therefore, integrated RES and large-scale energy storage systems are necessary to operate and maximise the efficiency of an electricity grid with high
