Flow Battery Stack

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

  The stack is the core component of the flow battery energy storage system. It is the place where electrochemical reactions of the electrolyte occur to achieve charging and discharging, and it determines the power of the energy storage system. Because the flow battery stores the electrolyte outside the reaction stack, it has the characteristic of power-capacity decoupling: the stack determines the power of the battery, and the amount of electrolyte determines the capacity of the battery. Relying on the founder's more than ten years of industrialization experience in the American flow battery industry, ZH Energy has developed and produced stacks with an internationally leading level, providing strong technical support for the product to achieve a stable and efficient operation with a service life of 20 years. The stack product has obtained UL 1973 and IEC 62932 certificates, meeting the grid-connection requirements for most countries worldwide.
