Fort Carson is getting a 10-megawatt-hour redox flow battery system, which includes large tanks of liquid electrolytes.
that can produce 2 megawatts of juice. “And they have a plan to construct a larger solar array that will come online pretty close to the time this battery comes online,” Jenkins said. The new flow battery system will be in addition to this existing tech.First, it makes sense to consider the lithium-ion batteries that live inside a device like a smartphone or an electric car. Those types of batteries tend to supply power to devices where space is at a premium, so the battery cells must be small.
With a flow battery, “because it’s flowing, and these tanks are going to be huge, you can actually store a lot of energy,” he adds. “For many of these installations, there’s not really a land constraint, or limitation—it’s not like a car battery, where you have a limited amount of real estate.” Another perk is that it will theoretically last longer than the competition. “It will cycle more times than a lithium-ion battery,” says Thompson, who also notes that it can be rejuvenated when it needs to be if it starts to degrade.
