4 FAQs about [Columbia Hybrid Energy Storage Battery]

What is a hybrid energy storage system?

The storage system is comprised of individual components that are already in regular production by the project partners. The HyFlow project partners have also developed advanced and more adaptable energy management systems for the new hybrid energy storage system.

Are flow batteries the future of energy storage?

Both batteries and dense energy carriers have attracted vast research efforts as options for large-scale energy storage. With high scalability potential and long discharge times, flow batteries, where energy is stored in the form of redox active species, can be promising.

Could a new battery be a reliable power supply?

While the team is currently focused on small, coin-sized batteries, their goal is to eventually scale up this technology to store large amounts of energy. If they are successful, these new batteries could provide a stable and reliable power supply from renewable sources, even during times of low sun or wind.

Does Columbia technology ventures have a conflict of interest?

The authors declare no financial or other conflicts of interest. They have filed a provisional patent through Columbia Technology Ventures. Columbia Engineers develop new powerful battery "fuel" -- an electrolyte that not only lasts longer but is also cheaper to produce.
