2016 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Battery and Energy Storage Technologies

These sessions on ‘Redox Flow Battery Technologies for Energy Storage’ are open to including papers on research, development, and/or deployment related to improving flow battery performance. A redox flow battery is a rechargeable device, whereby a special electrolyte material facilitates ion flow across it, energy is stored in ionized chemical fluids, and there is a controlled release or absorption of electrons to either generate or store an electric current. Papers of particular interest include those relating to using these redox flow batteries within hybrid energy systems and for mitigating the intermittency of renewables.
