Switzerland builds most powerful redox-flow battery
- laurencerowe 6mo ago1.6GWh for €1B which seems about 5x as expensive as lithium-ion grid scale batteries. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Construction-start-for-world-s-largest-battery-storage-facility-in-Switzerland-10378895.html https://www.heise.de/en/news/Construction-start-for-world-s-...
- syntaxing 6mo agoWhich is actually very impressive. 5X is a good deal, given how much more R&D and economy of scale goes into lithium batteries. Flow batteries have 2-3X more cycles and way safer
- panick21_ 6mo agoInteresting. I thought that all these redox-flow battery companies had gone bust years ago. Always thought this was unlikely to make much sense. Can this really compete with mass produced Sodium batteries also used in cars?
