XL Batteries' Sisto is confident flow batteries have a role to play alongside other storage technologies as data centers navigate the energy transition. “The global energy market is one of the largest markets in existence,” he says. “The numbers we're talking about are so astronomical that they're almost incomprehensible.
With a flow battery, you can scale up the size of the storage tanks without needing a corresponding increase in energy, so in theory, they make an ideal storage option for squirreling away excess power. The technology has been around for years, but the liquids used in the electrolyte have traditionally been quite problematic.
Flow batteries, which store energy in liquid electrolytes housed in separate tanks, offer several advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries.
With lithium-ion being such a well-proven technology, Damato admits flow batteries still have a way to go before they are used widely in data centers and beyond. “Lithium-ion has taken 60 years to get where it is today,” he says.
