Sandra is News Director of pv magazine Deutschland. She has been reporting on solar since 2008. Flexbase Group has broken ground on an 800 MW/1.6 GWh redox flow battery project in Laufenburg, Switzerland, in what could become one of Europe’s largest flow storage systems.
The flow battery system will be able to store energy for hours or even days, to maintain grid stability during periods of low wind and solar output. The flow battery does not rely on the use critical raw materials, thereby also ensuring energy storage security as well as energy security.
Flow batteries offer unmatched safety and environmental performance for grid-scale storage. Thanks to its water-based electrolytes and inherently stable chemistry, the system poses no fire risk, allowing data centres, offices, and staff facilities to safely operate within the same building.
