However, vanadium is expensive and tends to come regions with political difficulties or stability issues, such as China, Russia and South Africa. McDermott said the relatively simple chemistry of ESS'' iron-flow batteries and its closed-loop design keep production costs down while reducing degradation over tens of thousands of charge cycles.
The project aims to showcase the capability and reliability of iron flow battery technology in supporting grid distribution and transmission systems as SMUD transitions to a carbon-free power portfolio by 2030. Founded in 2011, ESS manufactures iron flow batteries using widely available materials such as iron, salt, and water.
For comparison, previous studies of similar iron-based batteries reported degradation of the charge capacity two orders of magnitude higher, over fewer charging cycles. Iron-based flow batteries designed for large-scale energy storage have been around since the 1980s, and some are now commercially available.

Existing commercial flow batteries (all-V, Zn-Br and Zn-Fe (CN) 6 batteries; USD$ > 170 (kW h) −1)) are still far beyond the DoE target (USD$ 100 (kW h) −1), requiring alternative systems and further improvements for effective market penetration.
Flow batteries are used to store electrical energy in the form of chemical energy. Electrolytes in the flow batteries are usually made up of metal salts which are in ionized form. The all-iron redox flow battery as represented in Fig. 2 employs iron in different valence states for both the positive and negative electrodes.
1. Introduction Among the electrochemical energy storage options for renewable energy storage, redox flow batteries (RFB) hold distinct advantages over lithium-ion and other competing systems in terms of their prospective scalability, safety, material abundance, and cycle life [1, 2].
The result suggested that the ratio should not be less than 0.5:1 glycine to total iron. The electrolyte ratio in between 0.5:1 and 1.85:1 glycine to total iron has been reported for practical use in iron flow battery.
Electrode materials includes bipolar plates, end-plates and graphite felts. The total costs of flow battery (C RFB) are expressed in terms of $ (kW h) −1 through dividing the costs of all these components (Cstack, Celectrolytes, CBOP and CPCS) by the required energies of the applications (Etotal = P × tdischarge, where P = Vdischarge × tdischarge).
Since other batteries have a fixed energy to power (E / P) ratio, the architecture of flow batteries enables energy and power to be decoupled, which can be adjusted with the amount of the electrolytes and the sizes of the total electrode areas, hence the power rating is based on the stack size or number.
