Elestor flow battery India

Why do we use elestor flow batteries?

The technology is affordable and easy to scale, which means we can speed up the spread of Elestor flow batteries to store large volumes of electricity over long durations. Find out why we dedicate our lives to a sustainable future and discover how we help shape a new, clean energy system that will improve everyone’s lives.

How does elestor's large-scale flow battery work?

A rapid transition to a new and entirely clean energy system is now possible, thanks to Elestor’s large-scale flow battery that can store renewable energy for long periods of time. Elestor’s flow battery is constructed around an electrochemical cell, where chemical energy is provided by the chemical reaction between two active materials.

Do elestor flow batteries need to be square or cylindrical?

There is no particular need for Elestor’s flow batteries to be either square or cylindrical, which are common formats for conventional batteries. Indeed, the hydrogen and the bromine can be stored in enormous tanks, including in tanks previously used to store other chemicals.

How does elestor reshape the world of batteries?

Elestor reshapes the world of batteries in ways that promise to transform the entire energy system. “We will soon see the emergence of entirely new power plants with hydrogen bromine flow batteries at their heart,” says Wiebrand Kout, Chief Technology Officer.

What is elestor technology?

As such, the Elestor technology bridges the two worlds of energy storage: with batteries and in the form of hydrogen. Cost reduction and revenue opportunities also arise as a result of renewable energy’s reliance on sunshine and wind.

How does elestor storage work?

The heart of all Elestor’s storage systems is the cell stack. This stack consists of a number of individual electrochemical cells, as shown above, connected in series. Each membrane in this stack in contact with the electrolyte circuit, an aqueous solution of hydrogen bromide (HBr) and diatomic bromine (Br 2), on one side.
