Flow battery activities at the University of Strathclyde

We are honoured to have been invited to give a keynote presentation at the IFBF2024 and will give an overview of our recent and ongoing flow battery activities. At Strathclyde we have been investigating various redox flow energy storage and conversion systems that promise low levelized cost of storage and that not only cope well with a wide temperature range of operation but are able to harness low-grade heat to enhance round-trip efficiency or achieve thermalelectrochemical coupled co-generation of chemical products. The university is one of the largest energy research clusters in Europe at the forefront of multidisciplinary research into the supply, storage and use of energy in all its forms. Strathclyde is home to leading industry research centres including EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Wind and Marine Energy Systems (WAMSS), EPSRC CDT in Future Power Networks and Smart Grids, PNDC and the Centre for Sustainable Development. This paper gives a brief introduction to a few of our recent activities in flow battery research.
