Reasonable use of renewable energy: International Flow Battery Forum in Karlsruhe, Germany

The Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT will showcase its newly developed large-scale flow battery, which is under construction in Pfinztal, near Karlsruhe.  The flow battery – an advanced long-duration energy storage system – will be able to store and discharge energy up to 20 MWh, improving the technical and economic performance of the research institute?s local power supply and enabling the integration of a 2 MW wind turbine planned for spring 2017.
