Flow batteries offer a new freedom in the design of energy handling. The flow battery concept permits to adjust electrical power and stored energy capacity independently. This is advantageous because by adjusting power and capacity to the desired needs the costs of the storage system can be decreased.
In the view of experts, flow batteries are feasible for large energy storages. This can be interpreted in two ways. One is the storage of large amounts of energy and the other is to be able to discharge the nominal energy for a longer time period.
. Kerry has a capacity of 5.6MWh and charges and discharges at a rate of 11MW. This implie that it can operate, charging or discharging, for approximately half an hour.

Long-duration energy storage in particular is vital to guarantee both the availability of reliable energy as well as energy security in Europe. Within this context, flow batteries are an essential solution to mitigate the variable supply of renewables and stabilise electricity grids.
For instance, 1 GWh can fulfil the energy demand of approximately 130,000 homes in Europe for a full day of operation.6 A flow battery target of 200 GWh by 2030 is therefore equivalent to providing energy to 26 million homes – enough to provide energy to every household in Italy, or to all homes in Belgium and Spain combined.7
