The need

Given the unpredictability of renewable energy producers such as sun and wind, grid owners are looking for cost-effective means of storing electricity. This is essential to solve issues such as instability and overload of the electricity grid.

The value proposition

  • Fast reaction kinetics, resulting in very short response times.
  • High accessibility, enabling easy maintenance and updates.
  • Independent configuration of storage power (mW) and capacity (mWh).
  • Modulary scalable, up to 10s of MW and 100s of MWh
  • No self-discharge when system is idle.
  • Storage costs per mWH 5-10 times lower than incumbent systems.

Bromine & redox-flow batteries for easier energy storage

In this video we focus on one of today’s biggest challenges in the ongoing energy transition: effective and sustainabe capture and storage of electrical energy for future use. BSEF traveled to the Netherlands to chat with Wiebrand Kout, Ing. and CTO of Elestor, a Dutch high-tech company operating in the electricity storage industry. They are developing bromine-based technologies that will facilitate the storage of renewable energy on a large scale
