have repurposed a commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities to develop an all-liquid, iron-based redox flow battery for large-scale energy storage.
Iron-based flow batteries designed for large-scale energy storage have been around since the 1980s, and some are now commercially available. What makes this battery different is that it stores energy in a unique liquid chemical formula that combines charged iron with a neutral-pH phosphate-based liquid electrolyte, or energy carrier.
A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications. A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage in a new battery design by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
All-iron aqueous redox flow batteries (AI-ARFBs) are attractive for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost, abundant raw materials, and the safety and environmental friendliness of using water as the solvent.
The aqueous iron (Fe) redox flow battery here captures energy in the form of electrons (e-) from renewable energy sources and stores it by changing the charge of iron in the flowing liquid electrolyte. When the stored energy is needed, the iron can release the charge to supply energy (electrons) to the electric grid.
The larger the electrolyte supply tank, the more energy the flow battery can store. Flow batteries can serve as backup generators for the electric grid. Flow batteries are one of the key pillars of a decarbonization strategy to store energy from renewable energy resources.

In this article, we explore three business models for commercial and industrial energy storage: owner-owned investment, energy management contracts, and financial leasing.
Building upon both strands of work, we propose to characterize business models of energy storage as the combination of an application of storage with the revenue stream earned from the operation and the market role of the investor.
Although academic analysis finds that business models for energy storage are largely unprofitable, annual deployment of storage capacity is globally on the rise (IEA, 2020). One reason may be generous subsidy support and non-financial drivers like a first-mover advantage (Wood Mackenzie, 2019).
We propose to characterize a “business model” for storage by three parameters: the application of a storage facility, the market role of a potential investor, and the revenue stream obtained from its operation (Massa et al., 2017).
These technologies convert electrical energy to various forms of storable energy. For mechanical storage, we focus on flywheels, pumped hydro, and compressed air energy storage (CAES). Thermal storage refers to molten salt technology. Chemical storage technologies include supercapacitors, batteries, and hydrogen.
Similarly, the term “long-term storage” is reflected in the business models Trading arbitrage, Black start energy, Backup energy, or Self-sufficiency, depending on the actual implementation of the storage facility. Investors can pursue multiple business models with a single storage capacity if market regulation permits.
The literature on energy storage frequently includes “renewable integration” or “generation firming” as applications for storage (Eyer and Corey, 2010; Zafirakis et al., 2013; Pellow et al., 2020).
A research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has investigated failure modes in heterojunction (HJT) solar modules with glass-backsheet configurations.
HJT modules will be readily installed on rooftops, thanks to their higher cell efficiency. Because they are already bifacial, they will also be installed in megawatt-size solar parks. For such parks, one will increasingly deploy bifacial tracking systems, thus attaining the highest energy yields possible in the case of silicon solar modules.
If the external force is so strong that it breaks the glass while also damaging the cells inside the solar panel, the consequences can be even more serious. Damage to solar cells directly impacts panel performance and efficiency. Cracks or breakages can cause uneven current distribution, reducing overall energy conversion efficiency.
This phenomenon, characterized by localized high-temperature areas on the solar panel surface, arises from uneven current distribution or other factors. As this current traverses through the interconnected strings of solar cells within panels, the inherent resistance in the cells transforms some of the current into heat losses.
Solar intermittency is the most obvious issue related to PV panel efficiency. The sun is not visible for 24 hours per day except for a short time each year at extreme latitudes. Solar power users need other power sources to use after sunset, and utilities cannot rely on solar alone to provide electricity for their customers.
Arvind Shah: Yes, they have more than offset the challenges. The main problem with HJT technology is that if you already have a traditional plant running on PERC modules, then changing that plant into an HJT plant does not make economic sense.
Crystalline silicon-based heterojunction (HJ) solar cells are becoming the best choice for manufacturing companies, because of the low temperature processes useful for very thin silicon wafers and the possibility to easily achieve cells efficiencies higher than 22% on n-type silicon wafers.
